DualShock 2 > those
the one on the right is objectively better for style switching with Dante
xbox one feels great in my Andrea the giant hands, but really the best controller this gen is the switch controller (not the joy con those things are a nightmare for me)
steam controller
Dualshock 4 for the better dpad
I like both but the ds4 has far superior build quality. The xbone feels cheaper than the 360 controllers. If you don't care about quality than it just comes down to which feels better in your hand. Personally I like the ds4 for sport games and fighters and the xbone controller for open world games. I use both for my pc. If I had to pick one the ds4 is better just based on the build quality alone.
Dualshocks feel really nice on my hands, I have an xboner controller but I would 100% prefer the dualies
Xbone. Dpads are and have always been a meme ever since analog sticks got introduced.
left is objectively better. the DS4 is fucking garbage.
Dpads are still the better option for platformers and fighting games in my opinion. But for everything else it's joystick.
The xbone feels like a cheap plastic toy. Put your fanboyism aside.
Elite > DS4 > Xbone
xbone all the fucking way
>curved triggers perfectly fit under your fingers
>setting the controller down won't press in the triggers
>sticks are golden
>diagonal layout of the sticks are more natural and comfortable
>yeah, the d-pad is clicky, fuck you
>grips are more comfortable, built for adults and not babies
>letters are better symbols than shapes
>rumble is so good girls are still using it as a two-in-one vibrator
was there anything i missed?
Left. What the fuck is that screen?
The Xbox controller is better in general.
For somebody that prefers joysticks the ds4 for should be your preference. Xbone joysticks feel cheap compared to ds4.
I can't believe I paid 120 canadian dollarydoos for 2 switch controllers with garbage d-pads.
Xbox any day, fits my hands better, also asymmetrical stick placement feels just natural
they're both cheap plastic toys, take your own advice.
Both break easily, it's shit
I have both and they're both crap.
the touchpad is retarded but i still prefer the dualshock
>The xbone feels like a cheap plastic toy
nigger, have you ever held one? I could probably snap a ds4 in my fingers
DS3>DS4>>>Gamecube>>Other controllers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Xbox One/360
Xbone, no contest.
A CHALLENGER APPROACHES
seriously though, this is one of the most comfortable controllers i've ever used
as in pic related
I have both. Your have to be a retard not to feel and see the ds4 is way better quality.
I've had the opposite experience with my DS4, the sticks are already peeling and I barely even use my DS4 outside of the rare times sony releases an exclusive I care about.
the good one
I prefer the Switch Pro to either of those, but between those two I prefer the DS4.
LMAO

why are asymetrical sticks better
>Your have to be a retard
i highly doubt you own both
Xbone controller > Dualshit 4
PS4 > Xbone
I genuinely cannot stand the PS4 controller and dualshocks in general. I hate it so much.
I'd strongly prefer to use a keyboard and mouse. If it's dick souls or something I'll take the DS4.
you don't have to force your thumbs to be parallel to one another
Because the upper areas of the controller are where your fingers rest, thus it makes sense to put the most used features there. In modern game design it is the left analog stick and buttons.
Back when the dualshock was initially designed (1994) game design was mainly d-pad centered.
thumbs mirror eachother by nature
left for movement, right for camera. i'd say you'd rest your thumb over camera and not over buttons
Stopped reading after the first two lines applies to both controllers and shows how you have never seen a ps4 controller in your entire life.
You need to move constantly, you do not need to adjust the camera constantly as cameras actually follow your movement just fine these days.
I'll take the one that doesn't require the use of AA batteries in the year of our lord 2019
Most popular games are shooters, the camera is used constantly
>he doesn't have a pair of rechargable batteries in 2019
Y I K E S
>you do not need to adjust the camera constantly as cameras actually follow your movement just fine these days
>I hate it so much
harsh words for a controller that you are in no way forced to use
>thumbs mirror eachother by nature
by that logic controllers should be mirrored. But they're not. Holding your thumbs an inch and a half apart from each other and then twisting them around get's uncomfortable much easier than the xbone sticks. With the xbone sticks your thumbs are outwards at a lesser angle.
>ds4 runs out of power
>have to plug it in and play wired like a goober
>xbox controller runs out of power
>slide in some new batteries and good to go
I love the xbone controller, the one issue I've had is that my previous one developed stick drift after about three years. also the rechargable battery pack should be standard for the xbone, no idea why it isnt. I was never down with the stick placement on the playstation controllers, when I owned a PS3 I actually bought a third party controller that had a layout like an xbox controller.
>unironically goes wireless
what are you, casul?
Dualshock 4
>Can easily use both dpad and analogue stick with The Claw ™
Xbox controller, playstation library
this, claw is the fucking shit baby
>retards are actually defending something as primitive as AA batteries
Boy Xbots are stupid
And the DS4 is objectively worse. I've actually used both, and only fanboys think the DS4 is not only better than the Xbone controller, but any good at all.
>uses controllers for competitive play
casul detected
reminder that people retarded enough to defend AA batteries for free on the internet are allowed to vote
DS4:
>internal battery that lasts at least a day
>high quality buttons
>god-tier triggers
>great stick placement
>has a trackpad
>has a gyroscope
>cheaper than the xbox controller
>uses controllers for competitive play
wrong
>doesn't work well on pc out of the box
just get ds4windows and run it once
i agree that its retarded that you have to download a third party tool to use the controller properly, but its not that hard
Wrong.
"Wrong." - Donald J. Trump (2016)
>still uses AA batteries in 2019, if you want a rechargeable battery you have to buy separately
>He doesnt have rechargeable batteries
Ive been using the same batteries since the 360, and they will work perfectly
Their libraries are like 95% the same so does it really matter
thats literally why i said out of the box
ds4windows is not very easy to set up, there are many many things that can and will go wrong and you'll have to spend hours googling how to fix it
I don't think I've seen a more incorrect post in the last 24 hours. The DS4 battery is fucking shit and lasts no more than 6 hours. The triggers ont he DS4 are fucking shit and just placing the controller down can accidentally make them go off because of how they're built. The touchpad (?) is a worthless addition and actively drains a lot of battery life. The Xbone controller has better triggers than the DS4, they actually don't feel like cheapshit in comparison to the DS4 triggers and you won't accidentally set them off by just putting the controller down. The Xbone also works by just plugging it into a controller
>less features
not on PC.
KYS drone.
left because this website is for whites only
>>god-tier triggers
>>great stick placement
forgot these in the DS4 section when they should be in the Xbone section
>>>has a trackpad
forgot to put this in the cons section
Wii U Pro
Is it that good? I hear it's very polarizing.
>>great stick placement
Forced to take your thumb off the left stick to use the dpad. Doesn't sound like very good controller design to me.
Came here to post this. Having both sticks on top just works
You forgot to mention how the shit 4 hour battery life on the DS4 is partially caused byvthe fucking lightbar.
The best of both
left if you’re not a handlet
Does the claw sound like good design to you? I should probably rephrase that. Does it FEEL like good design to you?
>ds4windows is not very easy to set up
i think thats because people download the old and abandoned ds4windows that shows up first on google when you search for it
this one github.com
>The DS4 battery is fucking shit and lasts no more than 6 hours
ive heard old launch models of the ds4 have this issue, but idk
i only own a v2 and never connected it to a ps4
>just placing the controller down can accidentally make them go off because of how they're built
never happened to me
i always put down my controller on either my mousepad or on my wood desk and this shit never happened
>The touchpad is a worthless addition
yeah, i could live without it, but its nice to set it as a mouse and not have to get up to use the keyboard when i want to change the game/alt tab while in bed
Maybe your controller is old and the battery has already degraded? Mine lasts 2 to 3 days, but I dont play that much.
I have literally never had the triggers press themselves when putting to controller down, dont know where this meme has come from.
Do you have fat hands? The triggers are way too fucking big, you cant press it with just the tip of your finger, you have to use the whole finger to press it, and the way its shaped makes that really uncomfortable.
>not on pc
name one feature the xbox controller has over DS4 with DS4windows installed
Feels excellent. Can keep control over movement and aim while I press other buttons. Helps make up for controllers inferiority to KB+M. Still useful even if you have paddles.
>horrible trigger shape
handlet detected
I will always say xbox because fuck having to stretch my thumb across the controller to use a joystick
Eat shit as the claw feels just like that.
DS4 is bigger, feels better, and has many more features. Xbone belongs in 2003
t. never used or seen a PS4 controller. In user's defense, though, no game uses it anyways.
its not my fault you're fat
For you.
>not on pc
kek, this retard never heard of ds4windows
The one controller is a fatter, shittier version of the 360
The DualShock 4 is decent but I don’t like symmetrical sticks
The 360 will always be my favorite but if I only had to choose between these two I’d have to go with PS4.
I'm one of the world's last sane men who realizes the DualShock is a crap controller. It was an understandable and forgivable jury-rigged stop-gap to Sony getting caught off-guard by the advent of 3D games. "Crap, our controller is a copy of the SNES one but 3D gaming is the thing now! What do we do?" "Hurry and tape some sticks to the bottom till we figure this out." But when they didn't bother to switch designs for the PS2 the controllers shape became a branding issue and now we're stuck with it. It's very obvious how awkwardly out of the way the primary stick on the DualShock is because the controller was designed without having it in mind. You have to awkwardly bend your thumb to use your controllers most important input (the left thumb stick) while the seldom and marginally used D-pad is given prime placement that the ergonomics of the controller are designed to gravitate your hand around despite the fact you're not using it.
>have to rearrange left thumb all the time because of trash positioning
Fuck the DS4
>consoles
>has many more features
Which only serve to drain the battery as the light, touchbar and gyro are nothing more than battery draining gimmicks. I've literally had more use for the Xbone trigger rumble.
Which one makes you pull somersaults without crouching the easiest?
Dualshock, triggers and buttons are much better on the controller even though I prefer the xbox layout of the thumbsticks
if that were true there would be hundreds of thousands of people petitioning sony to change the dualshock stick layout
i own both controllers and both are completely fine in that regard
My hands hurt just looking at the xbone
DS4 because of PC compatibility
Other than that it's your preference
Clearly everyone in this thread has been discussing it's use with PC, and yes some games are better with a controller
>gyro
>gimmick
i see you have never played a game that used it at all
What does that have to do with the less features part? You illiterate nigger.
>DS4 because of PC compatibility
As in lack of?
>drain the battery
Not noticeable unless you play for like 7 hours straight. Then you can just plug it in and have a full charge in 30 minutes, while playing if you want, instead of having to change AA batteries during gameplay like a caveman
This. Also fuck that idiot user's pic, DMCV is the shit.
Ezy
>the triggers are too big
So you're just an ass blasted manlet, I see where your criticism with the controller comes from now.
Xbox controller for shooters, ps4 controller for everything else.
Frankly, I haven't. And I don't expect to ever play one as long as I own the PS4. I don't expect a game taking use of it in a meaningful way ever hitting my shelf.
Dualshock 4 with Xbox one thumbsticks. Thats what I did to mine.
What's the difference in thumbsticks? On a side note, is trigger rumble a meme?
I still use my DS3 on pc for everything that isn't FPS games. I really like the DS3, the only shit part about it, and admittedly it's a big one, are the triggers, but having 12 years of experience with them, I'm used to it by now.
I love the size of the controller.
>PS4
>god-tier triggers
>Xbox
>horrible trigger shape
Actually kill yourself
Generally it's great, but I dislike the placement of the start/select buttons (the tall analog sticks get in the way and their too flat) and wish the home button was in the middle instead of the side.
360 controller was the best but the triggers and buttons didn't feel good / last as long as the ds4 and 1 do.
Not to mention the battery lasts about a month and a half
ps4
wish it werent so damn expensive, its probably the best controller right now
>fantastic battery as always
>gyro
>hd rumble
>optimal button layout for playing on emulators
>probably has a very good build quality
>probably has a fantastic d-pad, which looks very similar to the new 3ds' d-pad
>probably more ergonomic than both the xbox controller and ds4
Didn't feel good for as long as*
nice reading comprehension, you double nigger
ds4windows adds features not present to the xbone controller
I find my left thumb slipping slightly on ps controllers unlike xbox controllers, so left
>probably has a fantastic d-pad, which looks very similar to the new 3ds' d-pad
The dpad is one of the worst out there
I actually agree but the ergonomics are unmatched, and considering those buttons are never used in any context that requires fast inputs, it doesn't bother me. The buttons are fat and feel great to press, the sticks are perfect, the triggers are so natural, I love the switch pro-controller. $70 is a lot but it was worth it to me
Is this a competition? I thought DS4 > Xbone and the question is 360 or DS4
nah, nintendo makes very good d-pads, they're always clicky and firm
the ds4 d-pad is awful due to its shape and the xbox d-pad is okay at best
The Xbone pad is an upgrade to the 360 in every way.
>Lack of
>literally has the most compatibility and configurability of any PC input device
You've clearly never used a switch controller
i literally said that 2 posts ago
And yet you spew your shit opinions anyway and tell others that actually know what they're talking about that they're wrong you dumb nigger
DS4 triggers are easier to push making them better for basically everything, especially shooters
It's okay you can just admit you've never used an xbone controller
My ps4 controller has hit the ground more than four times and it's solid as a rock. Not a scratch on it and works fine. The touchpad, the speaker and the share button are stupid, retarded and gay and drive the price up. Just make a basic solid ps4 controller for 25 or 20 bucks and we're set. I love the headset plug tho, keep that.
except its a downgrade
if it aint broke dont fix it. m$ just broke a perfect controller
>except its a downgrade
Except it's not.
If you haven't owned a controller for six months your opinions about it are worthless and carry absolutely no weight whatsoever.
ew
DS4 for D-pad games.
Xbox One for Analogic games.
Steam Controller for FPS games with gyro on. (It's amazing).
Literally only you think that
nope, have several friends with xbones. the triggers are hard plastic, as is the controller. ds4 has soft triggers and durable metal body
>ds4 has soft triggers and durable metal body
You're just fucking lying now you retard
Here are things you can put on a ps4 controller that make me blood red mad
>motion control bullshit
>speakers
>social share bullshit button
Here is a thing you can put on a ps4 controller that makes my blood fucking boil when I see it
>the fucking touchpad
Have had a ps4 since 2014 and I can't recall one single instance where any of those things were nice to have, especially the touchpad. Fuck that thing to hell.
the ds4 would be better for fatties because of it's slimmer shape retard
For me its the dualshock 2.
>easier to push
as in whenever you set it down they press in
Dualshock 4, no contest
go use a ds4 moron. or else youll get arthritis in 5 years
The Duke, because I'm a real man
Reminder to not take any post seriously unless they post their controllers with a timestamp alongside their hot dogshit opinion.
Xbox one > switch pro >>> DS4
no it fucking doesn't you idiot
the xbone controller actually has plastic under the triggers. You would only press them down on accident if you pushed it into a pillow. The ds4 will have it's smaller triggers down just from you setting it down at the wrong angle.
See pic related. What's funny is that when i searched for pictures of the DS4 triggers in use i found people talking about how to fix the triggers, lol.
Kill yourself retard
The whole fucking controller is plastic. I've repaired more of these than you can fucking count you dumb nigger
only on a soft surface with video apps like netflix
Xbox
ds4 just feels better, sorry that fact triggers you
>symmetrical
>better d-pad
>shoulder buttons/triggers feel just right
>that grip
DS4 without a doubt, but overall every pad on this gen is god tier.
Considering you think the Dualshock 4 is made of metal I have severe troubles believing you've even held one.
And I'm sorry you're so fucking stupid that you can't tell the difference between plastic and metal you fucking idiot
You can't even argue anymore, you're already moving the goalposts you fucking dipshit
Don't play any shooty bang bang games so can't speak for those, but DS4 is 10000x better for fighting games and DMC.
Does it have a gyroscope?
>have several friends
Leave
Imagine being this retarded
not that guy but
>probably
What do you not understand about that word.
I myself do own a pro controller and it works just fine.
What do you not understand about "Don't spew shit opinions on things you know nothing about"
its not metal but it feels more like it and is made of higher quality than xbone which is straight plastic
Plastic is plastic
Just kill yourself already retard
>probably
>ds4 has soft triggers and durable metal body
Now you're just lying to yourself and everybody else.
Just like you're probably a nigger
>god-tier triggers
when there is an attachment like this for your controller you know something is fucked
Such as?
Not really
DS4 for platforming/fighting games.
Xbone for everything else.
Die mad about it nigger
nope, ds4 uses higher quality while xbone is made of the same type of plastic as water bottles
You're trying way too hard to sound retarded
the dualshock 4 is my favorite controller i've ever used desu
at least im not an actual retard like you
>N-n-no U!!!!!
Just stop
the pro controller with paddles
Are you actually 12 years old?
This is why I wish Yea Forums had flags, I guarantee you this is a BR
Stick placement takes about twelve nanoseconds to get used to unless you are genuinely retarded.
XBone controller has by far the best ergonomics on the market.
PS4 controller does have more features but nothing uses those features.
Meaning, in the end, it's down to "which controller is more comfortable for a prolonged use" and that's XBone.
You can claw XBone just fine. Using d-pad feels exactly the same on both controllers and the placement is irrelevant. Unless you're retarded, of course.
