Vidya Controller tier list

How is the PS4 controller any better than the PS1 analogue controller? This list is fucking retarded.

Drop ds4 and joycons to F and E respectively but bump up the wiimote and nunchuck to C

>How can PS1 controller be worse than the clusterfuck that N64 had, or the horrible megafat Xbox controller one.
Because they weren't made for midgets.

>MUH ANALOG TRIGGERS
Yes that's kind of a big deal and important for an entire genre of games, plus they feel a lot nicer. I don't know why you'd put them in the same tier as a controller that has that feature and is overall more comfortable on top of that. Also Wii U's pro controller having that fucking fingerprint-prone glossy plastic is grounds to move that bitch down to C

Out of the way, peasants.

I use a nes/snes controller like a big boy

Analog triggers are an objective downgrade for everything that isn't racing and select gamecube games intentionally making use of the gimmick like sunshine

Why the HELL would you want your input to not be instant? EVER?

>How can PS1 controller be worse than the clusterfuck that N64 had, or the horrible megafat Xbox controller one.
>I just don't get why you'd put Genesis controller, Snes controller or all that above PS1 which was more ergonomic.
Sticks placement, no d-pad and too square my fellow zoomer friend.

Can someone please explain to me why Dualshocks belong in different tiers? they're all the same basic thing.

You forgot the Elite™ tier.

Attached: elite_controller.png (3000x1800, 1M)

neither the DS4, XBONE or Switch controllers are analog

Because there's a second set of buttons on the controller right next to the triggers that are for things that don't require analog input. Having them both be digital is literally redundant and a downgrade for games that use them.

is it bad i use it for both
i just dont like moving my thumb all the way down, it makes my hands uncomfortable. the only good one on a newer gen console was on the wii u gamepad

Input quality>>>>>>>>>>>>>layout
DS1 and DS2 have shitty sticks.

to clarify, i mean i dont use the d-pad

I see, you never used a PS1 controller. It's ok to be a zoomer with a wealthy family that only played Nintendo. I know your first console was Gamecube probably.

Kill yourself

>Because there's a second set of buttons on the controller right next to the triggers that are for things that don't require analog input
NOTHING except driving benefits from analog input, though?

How many shooters have you seen with shoot on bumper, hmmmmmm retard?

>Can someone please explain to me why Dualshocks belong in different tiers? they're all the same basic thing.
No they aren't. The DS4 is way different in terms of grips and triggers

Have you ever used a DS1? It's ahead of the curve layout can't make up for the horrible, sluggish sticks.

Nintendo 64 controllers have a goofy layout but the analog stick and other inputs are at least responsive.

>How many shooters have you seen with shoot on bumper, hmmmmmm retard?
A lot of them actually. Most of them even give you the option to switch them if there's one preference you prefer. Not that it really matters because it'll register a shot as soon as the trigger is only slightly pressed down. Not that any of this matters because there are no good modern shooters worth playing that don't have a PC version you can play with mouse/keyboard

>NOTHING except driving benefits from analog input, though?
>he doesn't play sunshine

>Not that any of this matters because there are no good modern shooters worth playing that don't have a PC version
>he doesn't play splatoon

Do you realize there is OG PS1 controller and DS1? Original one didn't have sticks and thats the one in the chart

Also stop being a retard, most PS1 games were not made around sticks being a necessity

Gamecube actually has dual-stage like the Steam Controller, not analog.

The wiimote was fucking kino. Worked well when holding it sideways and the wiimote+nunchuck was comfy.

No I don't play splatoon because I'm not 13 years old and/or a pedophile.

the switch pro controller is that good? i bought a dongle for the switch to use the wii u pro controller but it's starting to fuck up and i have money to buy it now

Well then it's lower due to controlling 3D games on a fucking DPAD you tard.

Yeah it's good, but apparently the wii u pro controller is better except for no gyro.

I fixed OPs bad list.

How to spot a retard in 5 seconds flat

Might as well move the ds4 down there as well xdrone

Imagine having Nintendo live this rent free in your head

t. segautist

The ds4 is the best controller because it's the one fighting game pros use. If you disagree you're wrong.

No, Gamecube's shoulder buttons were analog with a second digital input at the bottom. Go play melee and play around with the shield button. You have complete control over how powerful your shield is because of that. They act as digial when used in Switch/Wii U games because it's usually only trying to emulate what a pro controller would do.

XBONE Elite controller is the best one

What's with all the hate for the wii controller?

Attached: controllertiers.png (995x414, 160K)

People that put the SNES/NES controller above the PSX digital or analog one never actually held one. The PSX controller grips put it miles ahead of the SNES/NES small turds made for children.

>DS4 is a good controller except for no d-pad.
But why 2 tiers above the exact same design minus touchpad and share button gimmick? Touchpad is only ever used as the button the share button replaced.

You just described dual stage, retard.

testing

The grips aren't enough to fix that shit controller.
It's better than the NES but no the SNES
Even tho they have the same button layout they're not the same design, hold a DS3 and DS4 and you'll notice

>muh d-pad

The post I was replying to specifically said it wasn't an analog input. Yes it has two separate parts but the trigger part of the button is analog.

Attached: 1549398022749.png (371x353, 148K)

Sega Saturn controller is my all time favorite controller. D-Pad felt great and it had a lotta buttons. Great for a variety of games.

>muh [valid criticism]
wow i guess it's not an issue anymore because you put muh in front of it. a console with several good 2d platformers like shovel knight, rayman, NSMB and Mario Maker shouldn't be given the luxury of a functioning d pad on its pro controller.

What the fuck are you talking about? GameCube doesn't have triggers

>Valid criticism
Putting Xbox dpads above literally any other controllers isn't "valid criticism" it's retardation.

Sorry, "shoulder buttons" as if you didn't know what I'm talking about. My point still stands, they're analog input. I don't know why you're so angry about a simple fact.

So is putting the N64 controller in the same tier as the PS2/Dreamcast controllers

I'm not angry I'm just confused by your refusal to use correct terminology.

Those are bumpers, and they're dual stage

I've never heard this term ever used because it's a feature that only exists on one controller ever made and saying the way the input is read is not analog is incorrect.

you're an autist theyre both analog buttons and triggers

Is there any Xbox controller with DS4 layout? The only thing I can find is picrel, but are there any opions another way around? Dualshock for me is great for any arcade racer or air combat games, but connecting DS3 to windows pc is a nightmare since motioninjoy went offline.

Want to go ahead and tell me what's actually wrong with the N64 controller? It's got a good stick, is one of the only 3d controllers with 6 face buttons, its comfortable in the hand and the z-trigger was ahead of its time, were only just starting to reimplement back buttons now. It was also the first multipurpose 2D+3D home controller.

Does it literally come down to "muh 3 handles"? There isn't a single game that asks you to change what grips your holding onto while playing.
It's odd, certainly. But it objectively doesn't impede using the thing.

On top of the retarded design that I'm not even going to read your justification for, the stick is shit and prone to becoming loose/snapping off, especially if you play games like Mario Party that put a lot of wear on it.

I love the handling of the Switch Pro, but it can't be this high with a literally deffective dpad.

Based
Wii Us stick layout is ass.

Who the fuck calls analog triggers "bumpers"?

Attached: GCController_Layout.svg.png (1920x929, 207K)

So you CANT actually name any times the multiple grips are an inconvenience, huh?

I agree with you, its only problem is the d-pad layout which made it useless, but it was a GREAT controller for early 3D games, way better than Saturn and more ergonomic than the DS

>Stick layout
>Mattering
Absolutely based retard

Stick punishment simulator aka Mario Party 1 would have done that to any controller

Mine have endured two decades of Smash and Mario Kart and still work fine

It's not an inconvenience it's just not a good design. And yes, having 3 grips and not being able to access all of your buttons at the same time is terrible design.

But I'm far more upset that I had to get stick replacements for 3 of my 5 N64 controllers over the course of the 8 or so years I played it because they became loose over time. I've played way more Melee and Brawl than I ever did N64 games and I've never had a single problem with those controllers having loose sticks.

>Saturn in B

Shit list, didn't even bother looking at the rest

>There isn't a single game that asks you to change what grips your holding onto while playing.
Turok. L, Z, and R all have separate and unique functions. Same for the D-pad, Stick, and C-buttons.

>And yes, having 3 grips and not being able to access all of your buttons at the same time is terrible design.
You have access to 8 buttons at once between A B, C buttons the right trigger, and either the left trigger or the Z button depending on what grip you're holding. Which is more inputs than the DS1 or Saturn 3D pad.

Right here.

Except for that dualshock on A tier, it´s a good list Al

>Use n64 controller for one session of Mario party
>Control stick flops all over the place

>Implying a dualshock or any other Vidya controller would fare any better at Mario Party 1

Moving your finger off of a stick to hit B or A would be the same regardless of the number of grips. It's like shifting your finger off of A to hit + or - on a Wiimote.

>Using two controllers at once to play the game properly
DS1 wouldn't have had that problem plain and simple. One analog stick and three grips was a mistake.

Analog movement in FPS is overrated. You only need Sprint, Normal, and Slow / Crouch speeds.

How did I do lads

Switch and WiiU Pro Controllers are the best all-rounders. GameCube the definitive Smash and Fighting game controller and Xbone the clear best for anything racing or needing analogue triggers.
Snoy Controllers are all garbage which can't hold a charge except for the DS4 which is a little better.

Attached: Download.png (1216x468, 172K)

XBone needs to go down strictly because of rampant stick drift. I love the thing, but both sticks started fucking up only months after I got it. My personal favorite is the Switch Pro, I just wish it had analog triggers, but it hasn't been an issue. Second would be 360, whose only flaw is the D pad.

you done gon and fucked up

Why does everyone shit on this controller? It's fucking comfy. Just because you've never held one doesn't mean you have to dismiss it.

>Saturn 3D Pad at rock bottom, below the SMS controller
You never used one. It looks really weird from a glance but you hold it fine and the stick/triggers are surprisingly nice. I use it for analog games too from time to time since the face buttons are all uniform unlike those on the regular Saturn controllers.

Wii U stick layout was just fine. Hell it was almost preferred for smash cause you could immediately full hop upair just by tapping x and flicking upwards, and smash 4 upairs were really damn important for like half the cast

Looks like a dildo

If you're just trying to use your DS3 on pc, just look up the mayflash magic-ns adapter.
The adapter is seen as a native XInput (or DInput) controller and works with pretty much any modern wireless controller. There's no software involved, just pair the controller with the adapter.

Objective fact coming through

Attached: patrishrank.png (936x649, 362K)

I don't mind using the N64 controller at all if the control sticks are fixed/lubricated.(which is the real fatal flaw)
What I am surprised about however is how highly people rate the Dreamcast controller, one of the most loathsome on any mainstream platform.
>uncomfortable small stick
>hard plastic Dpad that digs into your thumb

It's literally just a flat out worse version of the Saturn 3D pad.

>DS on top

It works fine for me.

>CD-I and SMS controllers above Saturn, AES, TG-16 etc.

Because dualshocks are lowkey garbage

Don't have anything to say about the rest but DS2/3 used to be my favorite controllers until I got a PS4 and realized just how small and non-ergonomic they are. The DS4 is larger and fits an adult's hands so much better.

This one always interested me but all of the games that accepted it also accepted Gamecube controllers, right?

Not all of them but some do. I know Xenoblade works with the classic controller but not the GameCube controller at least.

Just including the ones I've used for more than 5 minutes.

No, there are many Wii games that supported the Classic controllers but not the GC one. Also, the CC can move the cursor on the Wii's main menu but the GC controller cannot, which always pissed me off when playing Smash.

I'm counting 96 games here that accept the Classic Controller, but not the GC controller.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_games_with_traditional_control_schemes

Because it is more comfortable than the Dualshocks
It has the same button layout but more ergonomic, octagonal gates and a proper d-pad

Put the 360 and GCN controller 1 tier above
GCN has the best grips and comfy triggers of all

>good: joycons

Attached: 1560535560777.png (300x300, 125K)

I think it gets the job done when using it in portable mode. The ones in "alright" tier are there because of ergonomics, durability(N64) or waggle.

For anyone intending to use an N64 controller:
>replace these parts if you have a limp stick(stick itself usually not necessary)
>lubricate the bowl and gears with some lithium grease, which Nintendo should have done themselves
Controller will now last for years. DO NOT replace the entire thing with a 3rd party stick, it will make the stick less responsive to subtle movement, which the N64 stick was better at than many modern controllers despite it's flaws.

This is really pretty good. Though I'd say the N64 base controller deserves to move up. It looks stupid but it was super comfy and really well designed. There were like 4 ways you could hold it so games could choose to use the controller in ways you wouldn't expect. It was really comfy in your hands, too.

All Playstation controllers are shit in my opinion. I don't know how you guys put up with those things.

>WiiU pro better than Switch Pro
stop it user, you're embarrassing yourself

But it is. Wii U Pro controller has a functioning d-pad, the Switch Pro doesn't.

the switch pros thumbsticks are the most precise i've ever used
It gets S tier just for that

>Better dpad and DOUBLE the battery life for 30 less
lmoa the Switch Pro is garbo

Doesn't matter if the sticks give you a blowjob. If a controller has a shit d-pad, it's a shit controller.

They're nothing special, and other parts of the controller are notably bad.
It's on the shitlist

SCP works for a bit then breaks unexpectedly, glad Ryochan's DS4Windows doesn't have that problem. Fireshock for DS3 might be promising but there hasn't been an update in a long time.

>there are people who actually believe this

the Wiiu pro does have a better dpad, but to say the Switch pros dpad isn't decent is a big stretch. Switch pro has a better stick layout giving it the edge

Try playing Puyo Puyo Tetris, Tetris 99, or any 2D platformer with the Switch Pro controller. You can't because the d-pad is garbage.

I played Tetris 99 with the Smash ed.

Later revisions have a better d-pad.

Wow, congrats. It took Nintendo two years to make a controller that isn't defective when it shouldn't have been defective in the first place.

one year actually, people said it was repaired in XB2 time. also if you can unscrew the back you can literally fix the dpad by adding foam iirc

What's a good PC compatible one? I trusted the Amazon highest rated one and it was trash.
