the only thing it won't work with guaranteed is Dark Souls 2. Some people have to disable poo poo in device manager for some god awful reason.

if you click in and spin the bone stick too fast/hard it will apparently break the cheap plastic clip that pulls the stick back to center. this is supposedly happening to lots of people but the only one that complained about it in games got made fun of for having crab hands so maybe its not that big a deal?

also batteries

also bad shoulders

also ds4 is frickin sweet.

also just get a wired 360 controler for like 30 dollars because that's probably the best option except for the atrocious d pad.

news to me but every controller has a failure rate i guess. i'd buy it again even if i didn't have a ps4 though because it feels really loving good (once you get a pair of 2 dollar concave stick caps on there)

I use a wired x360 controller. It works great for all my emulation and d-pad needs and you can get them super cheap nowadays. The dpad does suck however. I'm fine with it but I don't play anything that needs a lot of precision there like fighting games or super hard platformers.

This.

The first time I used it I kept touchpad-clicking out of my window every time I tried to hit the Option/Start button to change my weapon in Mega Man 3.

I can't get used to the position of the Touchpad and the Option button, I keep pressing the former when I mean to hit the latter. Worsened by the fact the only game I played much of on the PS4 was Middle-Earth, where the two are nearly interchangeable.


...anyway I bet the Xbone controller is good on PC, because its support is identical to the 360 controller and that usually works flawlessly.

The xbone pc drivers apparently work best on win8. i'm using them on win7 and they work well most of the time but some games act weird about it. they either forget the triggers exist or (in the new gauntlet game on steam) lock my computer up entirely. aside from that they do ok, better dpad than x360.

I might play around with ds4 on pc though because i'm really liking that controller.

i use a ds4 too. i sold my 360 wired and my two ds3's and got a nice magma red DS4 for my PC and PS3. never looked back.

it's really nice to hold compared to the DS3 and being able to bluetooth with the PC effortlessly is really loving sweet

My 360 wired is all beat up and the sticks are loose. Despite setting like 50% deadzones they still input directions without my fingers on them.

I researched a lot of pads and I think I'm going to go DS4.

If I'm using a controller instead of kb+m, I probably need the DPad to be tip top. Also, the touchpad allows me to do stuff in steam or switch games or use emulator menus without having to get off the couch and grab my mouse.

From what I can tell, they are rather closely matched though.

yes if you are comparing the 360pad with the DS4. they are both good for pc gaming. i really didn't like the xbone pad though. im not sure what it is, I think the bumpers might be a big part of it and the new shape. just wasnt keen on it.

Really? I got the impression the xbone and ds4's pad was way better than the 360? My 360 pad is all one piece of mushy round plastic.

I use the ds4 and it's pretty great. It doesn't work with every game though (notably: Dark Souls :( )

It's the Final Countdown.
I'm using a 360 controller currently. I'm kind of afraid of upgrading due to not knowing what games will and won't be compatible with a DS4/Xbone controller.
