    I absolutely love the 360 controller. I still have one for my PC and it’s in excellent condition. I like that Hyperkin made these but for me the price is too high. The Xbox branded series controllers go on sell so often for around $45-50 usd that it makes it a no brainer for me to just get the better controller. Now if these went on sell for like $30 then I might consider one.

That is one thing I wish someone made today, a good quality PC compatible gamepad that had actual extra buttons, not just shortcuts to existing ones, and wasn't just a Sega oriented retro controller either...
      Give me the overall shape and layout of the Duke, the D-pad from either the Xbox One or Series controller (I can do fine with either), Hall effect sticks with the feel of the DS4 or 5 sticks but the tops of the Xbox Series sticks, 6 face buttons like the Duke had, the active triggers from the DS5 (with an extra button click, virtual or real, when reaching all the way down), shoulder buttons as easy to use as the Xbox One/Series pads, the trackpad from the DS4 (I like it better than the DS5 one for whatever reason) and gyro controls at least as accurate as the Nintendo controllers, and I won't have anything left to complain about...

    The biggest reason people like the XB360 controller design more is the triggers. The XB360 triggers have a longer travel and it's easier to tell by feel how much travel you've applied. The XB1 and newer designs don't have that. Now, why do a lot of players like that? Racing games. Yes, actually a vast majority of racing games are played on a controller. Why? Because it's rather challenging to integrate a racing setup that doesn't interfere with the regular setup. Challenge LMG to make a video on how to do it and for cheap.

    After I got my Xbox One in 2018 and retired my 360, I moved over to using my wireless 360 controller on my PC with a dongle with a 360 controller up until earlier this year when the stick finally started drifting a bit too much. And because of that I decided to take a chance on the 8-bit do ultimate controller, and it feels really nice. I was never fond of the direction we decided to go with the Xbox One controller, the triggers always had a spongy feel to me and it was just something about it I didn't like compared to the 360 controller. The d-pad was miles better, but I feel like the parts of the controller that are used more often got a slight hit in quality.

    On the XBOX Elite Gamepad, you actually get great feedback from the ABXY buttons, maybe it's a cost-saving thing on the regular XBone pads?
    The Elite V2 is my favorite pad of all time... sure, it's ridiculously expensive for a gamepad, but a) the buttons feel amazing, b) I won't ever go back to a pad without rear paddles, c) the fact that you can customize it quite a bit and it still instantly works with any game without any hassle whatsoever makes for a pretty convincing package for PC gamepad use.

    As something of a "gamepad enthusiast", while I don't immediately dismiss one because it's wired (one of my favorites is the Razer Wolverine TE, which, for how "serious" and expensive it is, it's weird that it doesn't have a wireless option, not even its V2 follow-up which is just sad), I do think it should be quite standard nowadays. Even though, again, one of my most-used gamepads is wired-only, for which I just dangle the cable over my keyboard, it does get annoying and cluttered at times. It's not really in the way while playing, but you're gonna have to hold it in one general region only. Which in turn, is just good discipline, rather than to hold it in weird positions or something, but still, you're just tethered, which feels so old-fashioned. I even got retro-styled gamepads that are wireless, cause that's something from the past we generally DON'T want. - I will stick with wired for stuff like audio, but any type of controllers... as long as it works, rather not.

    • @Haltedboy
      @Haltedboy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep I made a comment similar to this earlier, did the same thing back in the day by taking the sticks out of a controller S and swapping them in to an x360 controller, I did it for comfort and to keep my aim similar from the xbox days with halo 1 and 2. I haven't tried to swap sticks in a modern controller but if the stems are similar the caps should fit right on without issue. Only really ran into differences with some third party controllers back then in which case I'd get a cheap used controller from the same company with sticks I liked and swap them then let my friends use the other one. The best third party controller for xbox back then in my opinion is the Pelican Eclipse. You get a controller s style layout and the controller is a little bigger plus you get duplicated black and white buttons on the top of the controller. It was marketed for football games but it worked really well for shooters with easier access to two more buttons while aiming that other people may not have had at the time.

    After falling ib love with the Xbox 360 controller, after many years of owning a PlayStation and PlayStation 2, the Xbox 360 controller was just perfect for me in every single way but since I was fed up of having crappy knock offs or ludicris prices for a wireless xbox controller, I had found a really good brand - PDP Controllers.
    It's a wired Xbox One/S style controller and unfortunately, my last one died on me because electrical contact cleaner got the A button stuck...It was the PDP Stealth Serise Spector Violet Controller that had buttons on the back, and unfortunately it wouldn't get unstuck and was impossible to open, so I had to unfortunately throw it away.
    I now have the PDP Xbox Serise X|S & PC Purple Fade Rematch Controller and I absolutely love it! It's also lighter than the older model and uses USB C and not USB Micro B like my old one did. You also have software so you can customise the buttons,vibration, mic settings, etc on PC!

    The reason it's not wireless, is primarily due to extra licensing fees to include the Xbox's proprietary radio signal, would have made the cost of the pad higher. They could have done BT, but everyone knows BT connection for controllers just suck thanks to the latency and disconnection issues.

    I still love the xbox 360 controller, I still use my wireless one as my main PC controller to this day.
    This looks perfect, but unfortunately as soon as you said it was wired only, I'm out. The best thing about a controller vs mouse and keyboard IMO is the relaxed stance leaned back you can take with a wireless controller, flail about madly if you want to, no wires to worry about.
    I really don't think well implemented wireless is a pain, I use a knockoff xbox 360 wireless PC adapter and apart from some hassle getting the drivers to work on Windows 10, once setup, I've not had to touch a thing.

    Idk if it’s because I grew up mostly on PlayStation. But I do not like xBox controllers. I always felt the built in controller dead zone compared to the PlayStation. Even on my friends set ups who had screens supporting game mode with faster refresh rate even back then I still noticed it. I tested it too. Brought my PlayStation to a friends house and showed them what I meant because the PlayStation controller had a much smaller dead zone.

    huh, I thought there was still a massive amount of NOS official 360 controllers available, but it looks like they're finally drying up after all these years. They were always kind of a pain with the proprietary breakaway cable ending for the wired ones that were easily lost when stored, or the wireless dongles that were impossible to find unless they came bundled with a controller (and 3rd party ones were trash).
    These things seem quite expensive for their narrow niche though. Especially when you can snag an XBone controller for the same price which didn't deviate much from the design. 'Course this is the same company that remade the "Duke" controller with a screen in it a few years ago, so they clearly have a passion for Microsoft's gaming past. More power too 'em, but I don't think this thing is particularly filling a void in the market. More of a "we can" mentality over a "we should"? Something like that.

  • @Edgemaster72
    @Edgemaster72 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    $50 is a bit of an ask on these imo. Back in the day the wired only 360 controllers cost like, $20, so with inflation and the ever so slightly updated design I'd like to see these more in the $30-$35 range. That would be much easier to justify for the nostalgia.

    This actually beat out the Hori Octa and The 8Bitdo 6 button fight pad in my opinion. Both of those sucked for SF6. On the Octa I kept getting unintentional Drive Rushes and the 8BitDo DPad was missing inputs. So I grabbed the Hyperkin...and I have none of those issues . Plus I think this might work for Tekken 8 as well. Plus this one works good for charge characters like Guile. I tell people now the 360 pad was the best for Street Fighter... I remember being able to do Guile's supers on SF4 easily on the original 360 pad...put on PS3 controller I couldn't. DS4 I would say was 2nd best for stock controllers. The Hyperkin the dpad might be a little stiff....but im not dropping combos or moves as much anymore. It is as close to a 360 controller as you might get in 2024. Not perfect but really good.
