Wireless X360 Controller - It just, works.

I like the Wii U pro controller the mos nowadays. With the mayflash USB-dongle it basically becomes a wireless 360 controller with a great d-pad. The only thing that is a bit confusing is how the buttons are placed different.
I love how convenient and easy it is to use the 360 controller of course, but the DS3 was my preferred controller until I got the Wii U pro. DS3 is a lot more complicated to set up, and you need to have software running in the background to use it, which is a bit of an annoyance.

So did I after I read this thread. I like the Wii Pro Controller. My only concern is that as I understand it takes the button mapping litterally and on the Pro Controller X and Y and A and B are swapped with each other. I suppose I could either A.) get used to it or B.) change the buttons in the games' configurations, but I could see it becoming a frustration.
Also, that dongle is UGLY. That's a minor problem though as you can just tuck it away.
Yeah, the XBO controller definitely has a nicer d-pad, but honestly, I don't think the X360 one is that terrible. I guess I'm crazy. Granted, it's far from perfect, it could be better, but luckily it doesn't annoy me as much as it annoys others.
But I'm definitely switching to the XBO controller whenever my current X360 one stops working. Apparently there's no wired version, but I've read any brand of micro USB cable should do the trick, right? Even, just as an example, a Samsung charger?

This is my current, switched over from a wired 360 pad, i love the triggers on this thing as they really have a nice tightness to them..
Found mine like new and boxed in a clearance section in cash generators for £1.50 because - they mistakenly thought it was a 360 pad and it wouldn't connect to a a 360

I feel compelled to talk about the Buffalo SNES controller. I first heard of it when someone made a thread a few weeks back, and for the ~£11 price tag I decided to give it a go.
This thing is great. Solid design, and thanks to what is apparently licensing the design from Nintendo themselves, this is so comfy. Feel great to use. And it's plug and play. I'd still like a Saturn controller, but this is fantastic.

I mostly use the DS3. I like everything about it except for the triggers.
Greatly prefer the analog stick position, shape and resistance on it to 360-style pads and even the DS4.

That's the reason I haven't bought one. Such a stupid decision. Let's go with the marking on the controller over a decade of muscle memory :/

Mine just came in today and I tried it out a few minutes ago. Yeah the muscle memory factor is much more of an issue than I anticipated. I was also surprised how many controller-based games don't let you adjust the buttons. It's a shame because otherwise the controller is awesome and installation is 100% hassle free (Windows just sees it as an Xbox 360 Controller).

I'm a wired 360 controller guy through and through, but I play on picking up a Xbox 1 controller soon to replace my 360, there's nothing wrong with it but I just want something new that's in the same vein as the 360 controller, I've also used the DS3/4 a bit and never really liked either compared to the 360 controller, the triggers aren't great on either IMO and I'm just not a huge fan of the stick layout.
Yeah you can use any micro USB. However, Microsoft is selling/going to be selling a version labeled with "for PC" which is literally the same thing as the normal Xbox One but with a 9 foot micro USB at the same $60 price.
So, I plan on getting that cause of the extra cable lol

Im pretty sure it wont work unless Microsoft makes some magical software update for it, as the xbox one controller uses Wifi Direct

I'm still all about the 360 controller. I prefer it over my Xbox One controller too
