i use a bluetooth adapter and rechargeable batteries for my Xbone controller. Maybe cuz i grew up with AA style rechargeables around but i never had issues on pc with it.
Hot take, xbox controllers are all universally outdated and not that good. DS3/4/5 controllers, the steam controller and the steam deck controls are the objectively superior controllers. Track pads and gyro are the future of controllers and anything less is a regression of progress.
That take's so hot it burned my hands and left a trackpad-shaped imprint But it's better than the "You Are The Controller" future Microsoft tried and failed to push with Kinect
Since the 360 the controllers have been industry standard. Theyre the easiest to understand (and Nintendo literally copied the controller design for the switch pro controller). It's super ergonomic, by far xbox controllers were the best up until the dualsense in my opinion.
@@GuiltyMelly that is on you. For example, you are someone who played nothing but Nintendo games NES then SNES, you know nothing but the dpad and buttons. Suddenly Nintendo comes out with the N64 and 3D games, it has a joystick now. But you never used a joystick before so why start now, you try playing games with nothing but a dpad and buttons. If it were like modern games, the game would let you despite the fact you'd be intentionally subjecting yourself to an inferior input method for 3D games. You'd be stuck with only 8 directions of motion instead of a full 360 degrees putting you at a severe disadvantage compared to everyone who moved on. This is exactly what you are doing stubbornly sticking to the inferior dual stick setup. Sure the games let you play without it, but the amount of effort put into making them usable compared to trackpads + gyro is insane. Track pads + gyro play everything that isn't a 2D sidescroller, while joysticks can play 3D platformers perfectly! And suboptimally play everything else at best. Meanwhile trackpads + gyro arguably rival mouse and keyboard if not superseding it. Edit: I forgot to mention this is just something to think about. I don't mean to come across as if this was law or that you actually intentionally act this way. It's really the fault of the modern game industry and design not innovating where there is clearly a need of innovation. Please feel free to ignore me and continue playing how you want to play, I just want a future where I actually get to play how I want to play like I do on PC/steamdeck.
Kinda crazy how they outright perfected the desiggn of videogame controllers back in the 360. All controllers today are just an iteration of that
Beautiful work brother, keep it up

As someone who does play on xbox the small addition of the share button really does make a huge difference
The Duke with updated internals and wireless would be the best option for me. I loved the original Duke and would love a new wireless version of it.
you can use bluetooth for wireless
*Dongle not included
i have one that cost me 1 euro and it works fine @@squiddythekid3976
say what you will about a console, atleast you can physically own the game
Overrated. Admin, please ban.
That animated intro is way too long
Yeah I could probably shave a few seconds off it 😅
@@squiddythekid3976it’s super cute though. Love the little squid dude.

having owned a steam deck and a ps5, I have never once used gyro without being required, and have rarely used track pads
