Best gaming controller

[SilverEars]

Guyz, besides the reliability, what controllers do you find the most precise? I want to try a controller that is the most precise!

Xbox 360/One, hands down best controller.

In my opinion, the best game controller is Dual Sense from PS5.

Agreed, the trigger haptics/resistance is amazing. Especially for racing games.

Agreed, really enjoy though I do wish sony would put out a Bluetooth receiver like the DualShocks had.

I've been using the Xbox Elite 2 controller, and I believe its greatest advantage lies in its customisation.
The four paddles on the back are incredibly useful in certain situations, I'm not sure if there are any Gundam MBON/XBoost players here, you know, in this game, executing certain combos requires multiple inputs of the X and △ buttons while holding down the □ button, which can be quite tricky, however, with the paddles, I can easily assign the task of holding down the □ button to the paddles on the left-hand side, which is why I said incredibly useful.

But in reality, it still depends on the platform you're playing on. Although I have a Brook converter that allows the Elite 2 to connect to the PS5, when playing games on the PS5, I still prefer to use the stock DS controller because its trigger haptic is excellent.

Ugh. My dpad on 8bitdo bluetooth ultimate went out after a month after the warranty period. I'm so upset. I will not go with this company again.

I'm using my ps5 dual sense, but hate the slight stickiness of the buttons. Buttons should release immediately. Also, my right analog stick has tinge of drift, it's not centered. I hate that they still use resistive sensors.

Edit: False alarm. I tried the controller again and the d-pad is fine now. Maybe a software issue that caused it. I'm back luvin 8bitdo reliability!

On the other hand, Sony Dual Sense I hate you. Sony's analog stick is unreliable and the button sticking.

My replacement PS5 controller is starting to drift, when it gets exchanged it will be the 4th time.

Damn. I had the same issue and their warranty sucks. They will keeping sending you controllers with drift problems until you give up.

one day we might see Hall Effect stick... PS6 or 7.

I doubt that. Sony only care about profits, so they want controllers to drift and provide lousy warranty so people keep buying controllers.

I think early PS2 controller had hall effect and Sony changed it to resistive. Dreamcast had hall effect. Japanese made used to be reliable when they cared. They must have lowered the reliability to increase profits.

Interestingly, I have one that lasted without drift. They must have more reliable potentiometers than Sony's.

The new 8bitPro wireless controller for windows is really good. The docking station for the controller is a wonderful idea. It has the same color as my computer case and looks soo good sitting on top of said computer.

Sony is not going to warranty the controller replacement this time, so I've ordered a pair of these to put in. Should be a fun install.

Nice, didn't know you can DIY them to controllers. I'd like to do it all my Sony controllers since I luv their Dpads.

Where do you get them?
