Smarkil 12/08/20 11:38:47 PM #7:	A Xbone controller is probably the best and easiest option. The firmware is built into Windows and is adapted for pretty much everything you would ever need it for. Last I knew PS controllers needed third party software to make them work with stuff like steam though that may have since changed. Plus the Xbone controller is arguably the best controller made up to this point though the PS controllers aren't that much different anymore other than the placement of the joysticks. --- I promise that if the game stinks I will make a topic about how I hate it and you can all laugh at me - Mead on Fallout 76 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:948087797] in What wirel...

YoukaiSlayer 12/09/20 5:35:57 AM #14:	I've generally had poor experiences with any 3rd party controllers. PS4 and xbone controllers are probably the best choice. Just pick whichever one feels best. I find most games poorly ported to PC have xbox button prompts only so that might make it simpler but I haven't found it matters. With switch pro it can actually fuck you up because they have the a and b and the x and y buttons switched positions from xbox so it can occasionally be legitimately confusing. All 3 controllers are great. Smarkil posted... Last I knew PS controllers needed third party software to make them work with stuff like steam though that may have since changed. Steam handles xbox, playstation, and switch pro controllers without any additional software as of quite a while ago. I think you have to enable a setting or something though. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:948094478] in What wirel...
