The design already got leaked via a low-quality 3D model from a datamine. It'll look like this.

That design would be so much better if the touchpad was on the back. Would make more sense as well, as that's naturally where my middle fingers lay when using a PS style controller.

Nah PS Vita has completely debunked back touchpad as a good idea.

At first I used an Xbox One controller, then it got drift and I got an 8BitDo SN30Pro+ I liked it a lot and upgraded to the 8BitDo Pro 2, they both still work quite well but I wanted a controller with hall effect sticks and with some extra features, ended up buying FlyDigi's Vader 4 Pro and haven't looked back.

Looks pretty cool too, it's the AC IV Black Flag themed version.

Not familiar with that one but I would highly recommend any with Hall effect joysticks. I've dropped my 8bitdo ultimate down stairs and everything still works perfectly, think it's well over a year since then. No drift, all the buttons still work great too

The controller that came with the PlayStation Classic is really underrated for platformers and emulation.

I have an 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4ghz with hall effect joysticks. The thing is super preemo and feels better to use than any other controller I have. Like, actually has better build feel than the Switch Pro controller.

The Dualshock series of controllers.

About the only good thing that's come out of Sony recently is the fact their controllers are still - for me anyways - the most overall comfortable to use. I will say I still prefer the DS4 over the DS5 due to it's smaller shape and lightweight design, but I've come around to liking and using the DS5 if only because their analog nubs don't rub off as easily as the DS4's do.

What do you mean specifically? RetroArch and a lot of emulators will automatically map things out, and with SteamInput you can map the controls to whatever.

If those controllers use XInput the buttons should automatically be mapped to what they correspond to on an Xbox controller. The d-pad and face buttons are obvious for SNES controllers and with an NES controller, A/B would be mapped as A/B or X/A on an Xbox controller.

If youre asking how to use NES / SNES controllers for games on a PC, I dont know why you would want to, but with a USB adapter to plug them in, theyre just DInout controllers, so youd have to map the buttons manually if SteamInput doesnt have those controllers.

If youre asking how to use a controller on PC to give inputs to NES / SNES games, RetroArch does that for you. I recommend adding it as an external game to Steam and opening it that way to avoid any hassle with SteamInput.

Same with me. I'm too lazy to go buy a newer controller for the computer. I've been using the 360 controller going way back to when I owned an Xbox 360 two decades ago.

It's stuff that uses magnetic force to track the position of something rather then the more usual method of an electric contact scraping against another contact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

The impact controller wise is no stick drift, no stick wearing out, ever, period, end of. They feel more responsive and dont need to have dead zones etc. too. Theyre also cheap, the only reason Sony and Microsoft dont ship Hall effect sticks is because they want your sticks to keep wearing out so youll keep buying new controllers.

Unfortunately, Im not aware of any HE controller in a PS layout, which is my preference.

It's such a shame the Xbox Elite Series 2 has such terrible build quality. If everything on it worked it would probably be the best controller since its the most comfortable controller I've ever held.

Hyperkin makes the Xenon which is a pretty accurate reproduction but with some modern features. I like the ergonomics of the 360/Wii U Pro controller. Always wanted to try it out.

I just hate using the Xbox layout for anything 2D. Cant stand having to reach for the D-pad like that.

Its also criminal that a $200 controller doesnt have Hall Effect modules, but both Microsoft and Sony are guilty of that.

Original model Sixaxis controllers didn't have hall effect sticks but they used tech that was substantially better than traditional pentiometers. Sony did a lot of revisions even in the PS3 era so the higher quality controllers are rare in the wild.

Sega used hall effect sticks for the Saturn 3D pad and Dreamcast controllers though.

I used to use the Xbox elite series 2 controller but Ive had issues with quality control, Im on my 4th one. Also as someone who grew up with PlayStation and Nintendo, I was finding it difficult to rewrite my muscle memory for the Xbox controller.

I got the DualShock edge controller now after I decided I needed to send my last Xbox controller back for warranty again.
the first dualshock edge I bought didnt have quality control issues which was already an improvement over the series 2. It doesnt feel as premium, but its definitely been a better controller for me than the series 2. The battery life is the only disappointment but theres only been 3 times ever where i ran out of battery life during a session and in those cases I just plugged it in and kept going.

i vastly prefer the DualShock layout to the Xbox layout

i rocked 8bitdo pro 2 for a few years now and truth be told the sticks being hall effect is like the only half-decent thing about it

the face buttons are serviceable but the d-pad and shoulder buttons are horrendous and mushy. i get that their goal is to re-create the old school nintendo feel, but old school nintendo controllers also had the same issue of being bad in these aspects, so i suppose they did a good job recreating something not that great in the first place
triggers arent hall effect so mine already has trigger drift
and finally the shape has the handles pointing at a near 90-degree angle compared to the body of the controller, which can make your wrists bend a lot more than it needs to.

the newer 8bitdo ultimate has the same problems.

only good things i can say are decent battery life, decent wireless performance, convenience in switching between xinput and other schemes, built-in autofire, and the back buttons are really nice if you program them as L3 and R3.

xbox core/elite controller on the other hand is almost flawless if it was hall effect. luckily the flydigi vader 4 exists which is basically an xbox elite on hall effect steroids and with a better price tag.
