I’m looking for a set of gamepads to play local co-op games with my fiance. A while back I purchased an Xbox Elite controller expecting it to be sturdy since, it’s Microsoft’s premium controller targeted at both Xbox and PC. Shortly later, my bumper broke which appears to be because the bumpers are just a piece of plastic being bent over and over. It looks like they ported this same defect over to the Xbox Elite 2 controller without fixing it and at this point, I’m done.
I was looking at Sony controllers, I’m a little worried about there compatibility with PC (Windows and Linux) and also the fact that I have large hands.
Scuff also came up, but their prices are pretty high and IDkK how durable they are.
What do you suggest?
My favorite is still the Dualshock 3. Works mostly out of the box in Linux (you need to tweak a setting in the bluez config as of somewhat recently). I haven’t tried making them work on Windows in well over 10 years but from what I can see Steam has special support for them, otherwise you need a standalone driver. Can’t say anything to how comfortable they’d be with your hands however :P
Yeah the duelshocks look nice. A little pricy but Sony seems to make nice, durable things. I’m happy with my headphones which pushes me towards these
