I like the dpad position of the on the Xbox control more. Following your "wrist alignment" comment , because of controller shape, the position of the pad actually causes my thumb to be in an opened up position, opposed to being contracted towards my hand using the ps5 controller. As far as thumb pain, just get that guitar finger callus! Also the click in the pad has literarily helped me get through some really hard combos. It’s amazing
I never thought I was ever going to find something I like more for fighting games on a small controller (sticks and hit boxes not included) than the neo geo pocket clicky joystick but the one x controller won me over, this dpad is good. I've only used to for SF IV and Samurai Shodown but I'm sold on it being better than the dualsense and 8bitdo ones.
Very throughout video. I had the Xbox elite controller and was quite disappointed with the xsx because it's much noisier and don't feel like an improvement at all. On the otherhand Sony like you said feels exciting and I like quiet but what you said about main input control is totally true. The stick in the Xbox are more suited for 3d games. I'm also concerned about reliability on the ps5 controller. My ps4 controller got bad really fast.
Yeah people get really trigger happy and press fast or really hard so I see the components in the triggers not lasting long. Also when you set the controller down on its back the weight of the controller rests on its triggers and handles. Over time that constant weight on the triggers could be bad for the triggers as well.
I think what you said about the PS Joystick being built having 2d games in mind answers the question about which one is better for fighting gaming. But obviously personal preference is a big factor
I want to play fighting game these days, I guess I have to change my tribe from PS user to XBox user. It seems Playstation doesn't really catter fighting gamers, that D-Pad is a no no (that internal component is still the same sh*t since PS1). And I don't really care about haptic feedback.
I ordered an Xbox Series controller. I hope it lasts more than the Xbox One controller. I play Tekken and the Xbox One controller d-pad usually lasts around 4 months.
Honestly I really want to try the Xbox controller because I loved the Xbox one for fighting games so much that when I went to tournaments I just used a brooks converter for games. Ergonomically the dpad is where my thumb would lay out and has always been way more comfortable for inputs because of that which unlike what this yt says, my thumb is rested very well where the dpad is. My biggest gripe is that for the Xbox one at least. The port that you would connect the wire to, gets loose and then you just straight up lose connection. And it's a big deal because all fighting game tournaments are wired and since I'm using a converter I need it to always be connect and not lose connection at any point. I've lost tourney matches where it would just disconnect mid match. I duck tape a wire so it doesn't move. My question is will the control wire port fuck up like the Xbox one does? It's kinda a big issue for me
This is probably not relevant to you anymore but might be useful for someone. The Xbox One controller used Micro USB, which for whatever reason is historically vulnerable to breaking, and the port on the controller itself was quite exposed. PS4's Dualshock 4 used the same but the port was a little better protected. If you take the controller apart usually you can fix it, it's typically just a case of applying a little force to put the contacts back in place and making the contact tighter. As for the Xbox Series controller, the port is more solid, and it's USB C which is just a better design and more durable. But if problems arise they're similarly fixable generally.
Wen showing all the PlayStation controllers u missed out the og ps 1 analog controller, which shows the ps1 did have joysticks before the ps2 came along
I am new to the gaming world and i cant play tekken or like mortal combat x with my keyboard . I dont know about controllers that much .. your video was so informative . But i have a question . I want to play tekken 7 or that type of games with controller , like only dual fight games . Can you suggest me which one would be better for only that type ???
That analog stick logic is pretty dumb honestly. So you're saying that fps games don't priorities the thumbsticks because they are at the bottom? Of course not. The right thumb stick stays at the bottom because it allows for more free control of the thumbsticks for finer aiming. It's less comfortable but more presise. Which is why the left thumbstick on the PS5 controller will feel like you have better control.
Xbox in every way EXCEPT the dpad is under the analog stick. The perfect controller is Xbox dpad but to the top left like a PS5 pad. Im seriously considering getting a scuf pro for just that reason alone
Clicky Buttons yes, hard plastic clicky D pad is a BIG no, i have not found 1 hard plastic Clicky D pad that was even ok for fighting games, they are all Horrible, the best D pads for me is The Sega Saturn one, fallowed by the Ps Vita one, those were quality, try playing Street fighter on a Xbox one controller....my god. The Xbox controller for me is the most comfortable of them all, but those D pads are the worst ever. For every day gaming go with the Xbox controller, but don't even look at them for fighting games.
I too wish that those Sega dpads are on modern consoles. But you should give the new Xbox Series controller a shot if you haven't already done so. The dpad is very accurate on it in my opinion.
@@FrameCounting that one I did not try, I use the Xbox one controller on pc. I was hoping they would improve the D pad, they should just copy the 8bitdo Sega Saturn D pad and the Xbox controller would be perfect.
This happened to me to at first. Then I got blisters. But I kept playing because I was and still am so addicted to DOA. Lol, then after a while I don't feel the pain any more even playing hours on end. It's amazing how your body just adjust to it. But to be honest, I don't recommend playing through pain. All dpads will hurt your thumb. It's plastic rubbing against your skin over and over. The alternative is to play with an arcade stick. But that will hurt your wrists after a while. My advice would be to make sure you take breaks before your thumb start to hurt.
@@FrameCounting That sounds good! And honestly the best way I can see myself bettering is taking breaks, I've noticed the Razer Raion went from its $100 dollar price tag down to $60 which had me interested but not wanting to drop anymore on another controller whereas they might give me the same problem. My body should def get adjusted to it after a while , thank you >:^)
if u care about dpad. do not buy xbox series x controll. unless is a power a dpad or xbox one. this series x controll official. is trash. . i tried power a xbox and ps5 controll. and power a seems to be best. and xbox one controll
I'll just say right away Xbox has this down as it's based off of the Sega Genesis controller which many arcade Street fighter fans use I get that Sony was going for a more cleaner look with a spread out d-pad but not having that up and down left diagonal option really makes it hard to do combos unless you have big thumbs
I love how you pointed out how the controller shape affects your wrist alignment. I have wrist and hand issues due to RSI so this was really awesome to hear, thank you.
Yo I clicked the video looking for simply a controller comparison yet I'm experiencing the most elaborate controller ASMR ever. Great vid, I think I'll go with the Xbox controller because the analog sticks and the overall ergonomy is superior to the PS5 pad.
The Dualsense controller is just complete trash for me personally. The D-pad especially is a big downgrade for playing fighting games in my opinion. The old Dualshock 3 were awesome and Dualshock 4 D-pad was decent, but the DualSense is no good for me. I am getting a Xbox series X controller alongside an wireless adapter for lowest input lag. Mirosoft really outdid themselves when it comes to the D-pad so far. Your videos are great by the way!
Great review) I prefer Xbox - mechanical d-pad must be best solution. Also for me, I think, it's more sturdy, when i squeeze pad in hands. I damaged DS4 pretty fast) You can test sticks precision in DOA6 photo mode - when you move just a little stick - good stick will move camera just a little too. Bad stick will have bigger movement step. For example, Logitech F310 has way worse stick compared to DS4.
alexander pierre I know this has nothing to do with controllers I played on PlayStation and it just doesn't feel the same as Xbox for Xbox it's easier to ignore a hate message or a voice message like when someone cusses you out in a party I don't take it seriously and it's a really good user experience where as the PlayStation it's like I feel bothered whenever people send me hate messages and it's just depressing and the user experience is bad and I personally don't like the straight analogue sticks but this is just my opinion if you prefer PlayStation go ahead and play it.
Also I think the xbox share feature should allow you to share 1 hour clips if I haven't said that already and they should definitely have a mic button but those are the only complaints I have the rest is perfect
@@FrameCounting You're talking about the Octo correct? I've been looking for a release date almost weekly since 2 months ago. The price itself is very low for a controller with this much hype behind it
@@FrameCounting Same here. if its bad, I guess I will need to stock on the old Fight Commander for my next gen fighting game needs. It really serves me well in Tekken so far.
Really good video, well done. You could have also mentioned the spacing between the buttons on each controller. The PS buttons are further apart than Xbox, which is interesting.
i use my playstation controller for everything BUT fighting games. D-Pad will always be more precise and consistent for your inputs. The D-Pad on the series controller is just infinitely better than the ps controller in basically every way imaginable so there's almost no contest that you should use it for fighting games.
The position of the dpad analog stick is purely preference. I mainly play fighting games and I personally think the position of the dpad on the xbox controller is way more natural than the ds5. I really dislike the position of the ds5 dpad as well as the whole dpad in general. The only thing I like about the ds5 is that it’s a lot more quiet. I got used to the ds5 but I feel like if sony simply created a dpad with 4 individual buttons, rather than one solid piece, then it would be much better.
I played a lot of Mortal Kombat on my PS5 controller and it always felt like a struggle inputing directional inputs on the d-pad. Unfortunately the d-pad broke for me, probably has something to do with the rubber peace on the inside. I am outright considering just getting an xbox controller
I sold my PS5 partly because I hate the Dualsense, the dpad is so bad compared to the DS4. You'd think they are exactly the same but I can reliably land inputs in Tekken 7 on DS4 but they drop on DSense. They did something stupid, the glossy material, the fact the surface is curved because I found no way to get consistent with it. I'm not a stick player but I can adapt when given one, the DSense though is hopeless. It such a slap in the face we can't use DS4 on PS5 games, the solution is right in my hands but eventually I'll be forced to use DSense because Sony is irrationally greedy. So I've dumped Playstation this gen.
Don't throw away your X pad. Here is why: I might be a little late here, tho I feel like leaving a thought anyways: I started tekken since ps2 and never used xbox controller for fighting games. Here I am now on Series X, and I really don't understand all the hate about the X controller, I main Steve, I dived deeper into it, learned shiro combo on it, flicker cancel ws, korean backdash. I think after a week I thought to myself that it never felt so responsive before. It's just that you learn this dpad differently and when you catch the trick of it you really begin to appreciate it. For example: I'm a thumb player, so due to the fact that dpad is much closer to 1234 I was able to learn doublethumb guttling gun on steve, it was almost impossible on the dualshock Another thing is about korean backdash: I never press down actually, I place my thumb on the edge of Back and press it diagonally, you can't do that on ds pad, same thing for flicker cancel. I figured that my thumb actually moves less like 80% compared to DS controller. Another great thing is the curving of X dpad into the center, so back to forward or viceversa is an instant input for me as I just slide my thumb to slam the oposite side at lightning speed. (common thing on Steve with CC or intoflicker f3 or f4) There are so many tricks to this responsive masterpiece tech, just gotta give it some practice. Overall this comment is for everyone that reads these comments and thinks that X is trash, well it's not guys, give it some time and you'll love it. P.S. I'm not a Tekken god, tho I deffinitely see the advantages.
In regards to primary input, I think that usage should be taken into consideration. It feels far more comfortable using a stick in the secondary input area (eg Sony) opposed to a d-pad (eg Microsoft). With that in mind I think that Sony produces a better balanced controller which is generally more comfortable to use more people, alas as you pointed out when discussing the d-pad, Sony's d-pad is vastly inferior to Microsoft's. My dream controller is an Xbox controller with a Sony layout. Great in-depth comparison mate. It was very detailed and you covered a lot of points that i'd never seen before such as the wrist angle. It's about time someone discuss this. Loved the video man. A++
Same I perfer the d-pad to be in the primary position since it's kinda akward to use it the secondary position. I don't mind the sticks being in the secondary position since they are raised up and easier to reach in the secondary position compaired to the d-pad. I also perfer the shape and pivot of the Series X d-pad
Yeah, I think the PlayStation controller is overall better(And I’ve been an Xbox fan my entire life lol), but their triggers are bad for FPS games, and I prefer the feel Xbox’s analog sticks(Sony’s positioning is great though). Though, PS5 controller looks like it tried to copy the Nintendo Pro controller(Those very broad sides where your palm would rest) and I just hate that. They should’ve stuck to their guns with the old PlayStation controllers’ comfortability.
@@Stryfe52 Actually Sony was copying.... themselves. :P Check out the original pre-DualShock PlayStation dual analogy controller. It has the long, broad handles, and inverted thumb pads. It was one of the best for the time, and I'm glad they finally went back to this so many years later.
Yeah I think it is just preference. I like the layout of Xbox controllers more but the quality feels worse than the Sony controllers. I grew up with PS1 with no thumb sticks so I got used to the N64 and PS1 joystick positions first over the Xbox controllers
I’m not biased I have both consoles but tbh I’ll admit the ps5 controller looks sexy but the feeling of dual shock 5 just feels too hard in the hands and so big now I don’t like the feeling in my hands the controller been making me play Xbox now
The best PS5 and Xbox Series X/S controllers are the high-quality PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S arcade stick controllers and the third-party PS5 and Xbox Series X/S fight pad controllers.
I've been playing MK11 on the PS5 and I find that the d-pad buttons get "sticky" when warm. It's harder to do combos like Back/Left or Right by gliding my thumb over it, and eventually my thumb starts to hurt/burn from the rubbing. Whereas on my Elite series 2 controller the d-pad is soft and my thumb just glides over it, making it much easier to pull off some moves. Also doesn't hurt overtime .. I'll be skipping fighting games on my PS5 from now on for sure.
I don't see how. I played DragonBall fighterz using the D pad on the Xbox series X and the PS5. I have a lot of missed inputs using the Xbox controller and land the harder and longer combos on the PS5 controller with ease.
@@ayres1009that could have alot to do with the positioning of the dpads. But, the ps5 dpad is great for precision since the buttons are segregated but, soft
Thanks ..what do u think beetter in matter of precision of dpad... Xseries dpad or the old xbone dpad ??...I hit the like button ...I was waiting for this ...good job man
This is Awesome, and be thing to note. The white color feels more fancy - get the white Xbox controller and you’ll see it’s better feel to touch and quality over the black. It always been like that with Xbox for some reason. For fighting games the Xbox controller is better, the new D PaD it’s so good - it almost feels like cheating because it’s very hard to miss an input - Which is great!
I guess it's a difference of the dye used to colour the plastics. The white plastic is probably just bleached to be pure white with a little dye thrown in (undyed plastic is usually off white). The black controller's plastic is probably mixed with dye so it changes the feel.
Great video! If we talk FIGHTING GAMES only, especially 2D and competitive: XBOX ONE SERIES X controller is the way to go. I had one for 3 years and sold it a couple of weeks ago. It's worth mentioning also that I used the thumb sticks A LOT and ZERO DRIFTING. The only problem I had was changing AA batteries too often and turning off rumble in other games to save some energy (making the controller feel "lifeless" in my hands). That said: the LB and RB buttons are too easy to break and once that happens, you better fix it by changing the whole piece (which is all the top plastic thing that includes LB, RB, and the middle). Now I have the DualSense controller and I can confirm it's way harder to get used to for 2D fighting games and a total risk if you're playing competitively. Tekken (a slower and complex 3D fighter) feels perfect... but MAN, I miss the clicky feedback when playing Guilty Gear! 1 of 10 times I'll miss a back-back, forward-forward or circle motion special moves. The D-Pad is a pain... but I guess it's a matter of practice and you can always use the left thumb stick for those commands. Talking about thumb sticks: they're the same. Only the rubber crowns are different and the DualSense ones feel...cheaper. Not enough time to talk about durability, though, but hopefully it lasts for long. P.S. For other games that support DualSense features... of course there's no comparison. Playing Signalis on Steam with full features is a whole more immersive experience with the DualSense. Also, having a pretty decent built-in battery makes me very happy.
I’m personally not a fan of the Xbox series x D pad. I play mortal kombat x and it is really slow and a hindrance from my experience. Makes run cancels more difficult then they need to be. I can best explain it as the d pad being too clicky. It just doesn’t respond quick enough for fast inputs. But that might just be my hands.
Biggest issue with the ps5 controller is the rounded edges. I can ignore it after some play but fuck man I miss the DualShock form factor in terms of PlayStation controllers
I remember having a debate with a guy years back about the PS4 and Xbox controller. I was right cause you literally said what I said. The Xbox has clicks like a keyboard. I was in defense mode for Sony but right.
My right thumb is shorter than my left thumb. I can fit the ps5 controller in my hands. Will the xbox controller be too large for my hands or no? Are the controllers roughly the same size? Nice video💚.
Finally! A review/comparison video that Actually feels like a full detail review/comparison! I feel safe knowing upgrading from a Xbox One controller to a Series X controller is really good idea! Specially if the thumb stick are much better! Keep up the great work and thank you!
To me I always prefer the PlayStation controllers best for fighting games & sports. I prefer the Xbox Box 🎮controllers usually for 1st person shooters like Halo & Call of Duty games. Btw great comparison review, tnx!
@@FrameCounting I bought the same fighting games for both systems to test them side by side and the dualaense D pad is a lot better in my opinion. The Xbox controller drops too many combos for me.
People who use analog are freaks. But fr I've always prefer the playstation controller when it comes to fighting games. I remember struggling to play sf with the Xbox 360 controller, I know they were trying to get an analog feel with the dpad but it didn't work for me. The Xbox one controller was also a pain for me. I wasn't efficient with the dpad and the razor sharp edges hurt my thumbs overtime. But this time I have hope for the new Xbox controller, the new dpad looks like it was made for me.
@@FrameCounting If they do, I dont think it will be anytime soon at all unfortunately. They are currently more occupied with supplying more Ps5s to meet demand.

Bad stick will have bigger movement step. For example, Logitech F310 has way worse stick compared to DS4.
alexander pierre I know this has nothing to do with controllers I played on PlayStation and it just doesn't feel the same as Xbox for Xbox it's easier to ignore a hate message or a voice message like when someone cusses you out in a party I don't take it seriously and it's a really good user experience where as the PlayStation it's like I feel bothered whenever people send me hate messages and it's just depressing and the user experience is bad and I personally don't like the straight analogue sticks but this is just my opinion if you prefer PlayStation go ahead and play it.
@@eugene4144 Well, Steam is best in this regard - nobody can send anything to you until he is not your friend.
alexander pierre that's nice hope you have fun (:
Also I think the xbox share feature should allow you to share 1 hour clips if I haven't said that already and they should definitely have a mic button but those are the only complaints I have the rest is perfect
I agree with everything but the xbox series x d pad is a little too loud for me.
I wish it was quieter as well. It's the loudest dpad in the history of dpads. Lol
Good review, but feels one sided in preference to Xbox controllers.
So yet again neither's going to do it for me. Can't have the Dpad in a comfortable place AND have it be clicky.
Lol, I know right? Hopefully the new Fighting Commander will be the one (fingers crossed).
@@FrameCounting You're talking about the Octo correct? I've been looking for a release date almost weekly since 2 months ago. The price itself is very low for a controller with this much hype behind it
@@jeanschyso Yes, I don't think it'll be out until 2021. But you are right to have tempered expectations for it. I'm hopeful it will be good.
@@FrameCounting Same here. if its bad, I guess I will need to stock on the old Fight Commander for my next gen fighting game needs. It really serves me well in Tekken so far.
Really good video, well done. You could have also mentioned the spacing between the buttons on each controller. The PS buttons are further apart than Xbox, which is interesting.
Good call!
nice was looking for a honest review ty for the time and patients you put into this video it helped alote
which controller is the best for The King of Fighter game?
i use my playstation controller for everything BUT fighting games.
D-Pad will always be more precise and consistent for your inputs. The D-Pad on the series controller is just infinitely better than the ps controller in basically every way imaginable so there's almost no contest that you should use it for fighting games.
Great video. I will buy a Xbox Series Controller to play on PC.
The position of the dpad analog stick is purely preference. I mainly play fighting games and I personally think the position of the dpad on the xbox controller is way more natural than the ds5. I really dislike the position of the ds5 dpad as well as the whole dpad in general. The only thing I like about the ds5 is that it’s a lot more quiet. I got used to the ds5 but I feel like if sony simply created a dpad with 4 individual buttons, rather than one solid piece, then it would be much better.
I played a lot of Mortal Kombat on my PS5 controller and it always felt like a struggle inputing directional inputs on the d-pad. Unfortunately the d-pad broke for me, probably has something to do with the rubber peace on the inside. I am outright considering just getting an xbox controller
I sold my PS5 partly because I hate the Dualsense, the dpad is so bad compared to the DS4. You'd think they are exactly the same but I can reliably land inputs in Tekken 7 on DS4 but they drop on DSense. They did something stupid, the glossy material, the fact the surface is curved because I found no way to get consistent with it. I'm not a stick player but I can adapt when given one, the DSense though is hopeless. It such a slap in the face we can't use DS4 on PS5 games, the solution is right in my hands but eventually I'll be forced to use DSense because Sony is irrationally greedy. So I've dumped Playstation this gen.
Agreed! Check out my DualSense long term review to see why combos are constantly dropped if you are curious.
Don't throw away your X pad. Here is why:
I might be a little late here, tho I feel like leaving a thought anyways: I started tekken since ps2 and never used xbox controller for fighting games. Here I am now on Series X, and I really don't understand all the hate about the X controller, I main Steve, I dived deeper into it, learned shiro combo on it, flicker cancel ws, korean backdash. I think after a week I thought to myself that it never felt so responsive before. It's just that you learn this dpad differently and when you catch the trick of it you really begin to appreciate it.
For example: I'm a thumb player, so due to the fact that dpad is much closer to 1234 I was able to learn doublethumb guttling gun on steve, it was almost impossible on the dualshock
Another thing is about korean backdash: I never press down actually, I place my thumb on the edge of Back and press it diagonally, you can't do that on ds pad, same thing for flicker cancel. I figured that my thumb actually moves less like 80% compared to DS controller.
Another great thing is the curving of X dpad into the center, so back to forward or viceversa is an instant input for me as I just slide my thumb to slam the oposite side at lightning speed. (common thing on Steve with CC or intoflicker f3 or f4)
There are so many tricks to this responsive masterpiece tech, just gotta give it some practice.
Overall this comment is for everyone that reads these comments and thinks that X is trash, well it's not guys, give it some time and you'll love it.
P.S. I'm not a Tekken god, tho I deffinitely see the advantages.
Great review, and your voice is very soothing lol
Thank you my friend!
Any marvel players know if the Xbox d pad is good?
In my opinion, the xbox series dpad is one of the best on any controllers I've owned. And I've owned a lot.
This is the go to review and comparison. Great job.
Thank you my friend!
@@FrameCounting we need kong
In regards to primary input, I think that usage should be taken into consideration. It feels far more comfortable using a stick in the secondary input area (eg Sony) opposed to a d-pad (eg Microsoft). With that in mind I think that Sony produces a better balanced controller which is generally more comfortable to use more people, alas as you pointed out when discussing the d-pad, Sony's d-pad is vastly inferior to Microsoft's. My dream controller is an Xbox controller with a Sony layout.
Great in-depth comparison mate. It was very detailed and you covered a lot of points that i'd never seen before such as the wrist angle. It's about time someone discuss this. Loved the video man. A++
Thanks bud!
Same I perfer the d-pad to be in the primary position since it's kinda akward to use it the secondary position. I don't mind the sticks being in the secondary position since they are raised up and easier to reach in the secondary position compaired to the d-pad.
I also perfer the shape and pivot of the Series X d-pad
Yeah, I think the PlayStation controller is overall better(And I’ve been an Xbox fan my entire life lol), but their triggers are bad for FPS games, and I prefer the feel Xbox’s analog sticks(Sony’s positioning is great though).
Though, PS5 controller looks like it tried to copy the Nintendo Pro controller(Those very broad sides where your palm would rest) and I just hate that. They should’ve stuck to their guns with the old PlayStation controllers’ comfortability.
@@Stryfe52 Actually Sony was copying.... themselves. :P Check out the original pre-DualShock PlayStation dual analogy controller. It has the long, broad handles, and inverted thumb pads. It was one of the best for the time, and I'm glad they finally went back to this so many years later.
Yeah I think it is just preference. I like the layout of Xbox controllers more but the quality feels worse than the Sony controllers. I grew up with PS1 with no thumb sticks so I got used to the N64 and PS1 joystick positions first over the Xbox controllers
I’m not biased I have both consoles but tbh I’ll admit the ps5 controller looks sexy but the feeling of dual shock 5 just feels too hard in the hands and so big now I don’t like the feeling in my hands the controller been making me play Xbox now
Agreed!
a quiet controller!? im getting it
Thanks for your honest comparison
The best PS5 and Xbox Series X/S controllers are the high-quality PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S arcade stick controllers and the third-party PS5 and Xbox Series X/S fight pad controllers.
Thanks for this video! Really appreciate your work
the clicks and edges would bug me too much for xbox series, so i think dual sense is better for me.
I've been playing MK11 on the PS5 and I find that the d-pad buttons get "sticky" when warm. It's harder to do combos like Back/Left or Right by gliding my thumb over it, and eventually my thumb starts to hurt/burn from the rubbing. Whereas on my Elite series 2 controller the d-pad is soft and my thumb just glides over it, making it much easier to pull off some moves. Also doesn't hurt overtime .. I'll be skipping fighting games on my PS5 from now on for sure.
You nailed it!
I don't see how. I played DragonBall fighterz using the D pad on the Xbox series X and the PS5. I have a lot of missed inputs using the Xbox controller and land the harder and longer combos on the PS5 controller with ease.
@@ayres1009that could have alot to do with the positioning of the dpads. But, the ps5 dpad is great for precision since the buttons are segregated but, soft
@@uppercutgrandma4425 everything you said was right except the buttons are not segregated on the PS5 pad. It’s one solid piece with a pivot point.
Yeah, Xbox wins for me.
Do you know how you could mod your ps5 controller to have a better dpad?
PS5 for 2D, fighting games, 3rd person, xbox for shooters and racing games. Both for sports and rpg
Thanks ..what do u think beetter in matter of precision of dpad... Xseries dpad or the old xbone dpad ??...I hit the like button ...I was waiting for this ...good job man
If you wanna play fighting games, xbone d pad is the least d pad you'd want
Le stick analog xbox serie marche super bien j'aurais jamais cru
This is Awesome, and be thing to note.
The white color feels more fancy - get the white Xbox controller and you’ll see it’s better feel to touch and quality over the black.
It always been like that with Xbox for some reason.
For fighting games the Xbox controller is better, the new D PaD it’s so good - it almost feels like cheating because it’s very hard to miss an input -
Which is great!
I guess it's a difference of the dye used to colour the plastics. The white plastic is probably just bleached to be pure white with a little dye thrown in (undyed plastic is usually off white). The black controller's plastic is probably mixed with dye so it changes the feel.
White gets dirty in no time.
So it sucks. Black is much better
Great video! If we talk FIGHTING GAMES only, especially 2D and competitive: XBOX ONE SERIES X controller is the way to go.
I had one for 3 years and sold it a couple of weeks ago. It's worth mentioning also that I used the thumb sticks A LOT and ZERO DRIFTING. The only problem I had was changing AA batteries too often and turning off rumble in other games to save some energy (making the controller feel "lifeless" in my hands). That said: the LB and RB buttons are too easy to break and once that happens, you better fix it by changing the whole piece (which is all the top plastic thing that includes LB, RB, and the middle).
Now I have the DualSense controller and I can confirm it's way harder to get used to for 2D fighting games and a total risk if you're playing competitively. Tekken (a slower and complex 3D fighter) feels perfect... but MAN, I miss the clicky feedback when playing Guilty Gear! 1 of 10 times I'll miss a back-back, forward-forward or circle motion special moves. The D-Pad is a pain... but I guess it's a matter of practice and you can always use the left thumb stick for those commands.
Talking about thumb sticks: they're the same. Only the rubber crowns are different and the DualSense ones feel...cheaper.
Not enough time to talk about durability, though, but hopefully it lasts for long.
P.S. For other games that support DualSense features... of course there's no comparison. Playing Signalis on Steam with full features is a whole more immersive experience with the DualSense. Also, having a pretty decent built-in battery makes me very happy.
Can I use the joysticks to play fighting games?
I feel like the circular motions would be much easier
I do that for full circles.
bought ps5 pad
first day opinion
the d-pad is way too floaty
hopefully i will grow in to it or it will grow in the garbage...
LOL, I'm afraid it's gonna be in the trash soon....
I’m personally not a fan of the Xbox series x D pad. I play mortal kombat x and it is really slow and a hindrance from my experience. Makes run cancels more difficult then they need to be. I can best explain it as the d pad being too clicky. It just doesn’t respond quick enough for fast inputs. But that might just be my hands.
Best thing to do is try both to see which one works better for you. There still isn't a perfect fightpad yet to this date.
What's the song at the beginning? It sounds very familiar, but I can't place it. Is it in FFXIV?
It does sound like FF doesn't it? It's actually just one of those free music YT provides for videos. I forgot what the name was though.
Biggest issue with the ps5 controller is the rounded edges. I can ignore it after some play but fuck man I miss the DualShock form factor in terms of PlayStation controllers
For fighting games: ds5 d pad winner
I disagree, I have both systems and the xbox dpad is simply designed better. You'll encounter more input errors on the ps5 dpad.
lol ps4 has the same dpad layout as ps5
@@BamiCodm I never owned a ps4 so I wouldn't know. But, I know for experience that xbox's dpad is better in my opinion.
@@zigzagphx4535 PS4 dpad is trash, clunky and not durable. I’m going to try the Xbox controller on PC though.
I remember having a debate with a guy years back about the PS4 and Xbox controller. I was right cause you literally said what I said. The Xbox has clicks like a keyboard. I was in defense mode for Sony but right.
My right thumb is shorter than my left thumb. I can fit the ps5 controller in my hands. Will the xbox controller be too large for my hands or no? Are the controllers roughly the same size? Nice video💚.
Xbox controller is smaller than the DualSense.
@@FrameCounting okay thank 🤗
Yeah but only the serios x but the one s the duelsence controller have the same size as the one s controller
Different is dpad
And analog
Finally! A review/comparison video that Actually feels like a full detail review/comparison! I feel safe knowing upgrading from a Xbox One controller to a Series X controller is really good idea! Specially if the thumb stick are much better! Keep up the great work and thank you!
To me I always prefer the PlayStation controllers best for fighting games & sports. I prefer the Xbox Box 🎮controllers usually for 1st person shooters like Halo & Call of Duty games. Btw great comparison review, tnx!
The PlayStation 4 controller is great. The ps5 controller is absolutely horrible
@@TH-camrr285 which of the ds4 and xbox series x|s is better for fighters ? I have never used an asymetrical controller before (duno is ns4 counts)
I like both controllers but the D pad for fighting games is absolutely terrible on the Xbox controller. It's very easy to have missed inputs.
I've had the opposite experience with the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers. The PS4 controller however worked very well for me.
@@FrameCounting I bought the same fighting games for both systems to test them side by side and the dualaense D pad is a lot better in my opinion. The Xbox controller drops too many combos for me.
love the way you describe them
I love Xbox Controller. Could you please make more videos about Xbox?
Most thorough and honest review I’ve seen on the two controllers. Tremendous.
Is the dish-shaped D-pad on the Xbox Seriex X controller better than the one from Xbox One?
I prefer the Series controllers because it's lighter to press and more tactile.
No idea how I got here. Glad I did tho!
can I use both when playing with friends? XD
Of course, give your friend the PS5 controller though. 😉
Hello, can you make a review on the Flydigi Vader 3 ? It looks just like the x-series controller, but with two extra buttons.
I have both consoles but I hate the d pad on the Xbox it’s so loud lol
It's very loud lol
People who use analog are freaks. But fr I've always prefer the playstation controller when it comes to fighting games. I remember struggling to play sf with the Xbox 360 controller, I know they were trying to get an analog feel with the dpad but it didn't work for me. The Xbox one controller was also a pain for me. I wasn't efficient with the dpad and the razor sharp edges hurt my thumbs overtime. But this time I have hope for the new Xbox controller, the new dpad looks like it was made for me.
I agree with you its unnecessarily large and the new buttons arent as good. Whole controller needs alot of improvement imo
Hopefully Sony will do a Pro Controller like MS and fix the issues currently on the DualSense.
@@FrameCounting If they do, I dont think it will be anytime soon at all unfortunately. They are currently more occupied with supplying more Ps5s to meet demand.
I have a new born so I had to buy a ps5 control since im playing the hell outa Mortal Kombat 1 on my pc. Makes no noise. Starlight blue looks amazing
The Xbox controllers buttons are also closer together which I find makes things easier when trying to hit multiple buttons simultaneously
