I'm not sure because at the time, I had followed the instructions and used a USB dongle. 14 minutes ago, Shagger said: I've heard of DS4, but for some reason never considered using it. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but I do have a couple of issues. The button prompts on screen won't match the symbols on the controller itself because the pronts will obviously use the equilvilant buttons on an Xbox controller. It's possible I could get used to that, but it would be annoying, especially for games I've never played before. I only have one DualShock 4 that works properly right now, so having to reset the controller and reconnect it to the PC and console every time I switch devices would be a pain in the ass. I could solve that by buying a new Dualshock 4, but there's no point when a new 1708 model One controller would cost the same. EDIT: Forget what I just said. For some reason I don't understand new Xbox one 1708 model controllers are price at around £80! How, when and why did that happen? Between scalpers and the increased price of electronics because of the chip shortage plus increased tariffs in China, we have this current mess.

Justin11 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Since we can use wireless controllers, it will simply reduce headache, back pain and whatever, because we are simply relaxing and controlling with our wireless controllers.

I'm gonna go through this thread (thanks for that Video @Heatman), but if anyone has any new ideas feel free to share. You're very welcome mate. It's nothing compared to the time you took out to teach most of us here with myself included on how to go about defragmentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies and retailers only care about money so it doesn't matter to them if the customers are satisfied as long as they are getting their cut.

Exactly - it's been that way for a while now and I believe that it's something that won't be changing anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The best and quality PC controller I've seen so far is Super Smooth Thrust Master controller, it is kinda expensive I must say. The value is worth around $20 for single type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If am a PC user I can't consider using a mouse nor keyboard to play video games. I can't feel comfortable at all, it will cause strain on my back and wrist too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 OK, I've decided t try out This model from EasySMX. I've also purchased Tales of Arise for PC. Perhaps I'll give a kind of "dual review". Head_Hunter and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda expensive too, but I know the pad or controller is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search it at Amazon you'll come to see it there, with the price and it's different types. That's where I discovered it, when I was searching for PC controllers.

Justin11 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Their are some PC that are simply compatible with PS3 controller while some are made to be compatible with PS4 controller. So if you can always test run it, to see if it works for you that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right but they make some other peripherals to. The "Super Smooth Thrustmaster controller" that @Justin11 described exists but as far I can it's an older and very cheap model designed for iOS and Android phones. I'm not even sure if it works on PC. Maybe he means one of Thrustmaster's more premium products like the eSwap Pro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
