Which game controller?

#1 Post by Bandit & The Snowman » 30 Nov 2019 11:15

Hi all,

currently some gamepads are seriously discounted. Which one would you rather recommend for Windows use (for all types of games, not just ETS2/ATS), Sony Dualshock 4 V2 or XBox (which of them?), or another?

Xbox One wireless (I have a blutooth enabled Mo-Bo).

I have always preferred Xbox over the Sony controllers, I think the layout is better and easier to hold.

buy the Xbox One pad, you can use them via WiFi with the dongle, Bluetooth if your PC can do it (the newer generation 2 pads can do BT) or just use it with a simple micro USB to USB A cable

also, you can buy the Xbox One Chat Pad as an addition, so you have the keyboard always in reach for the most used keys

Anyone tried the PS5 controller (AKA DualSense) with ATS? I've been using my Xbox 360 controllers for PC gaming, but one of them is about dead (left analog stick is pretty worn out) and I want to save mileage on my other controller that is still in decent shape.

So I'm thinking I'll get either an Xbox One controller or the new PS5 controller.

The Xbox One controller is a better fit in the hand than any other type I've tried but I haven't even seen a PS5 controller. If it feels anything like the PS4 controller I'd stick with the Xbox One. I use Xbox One and my Logitech G27 wheel, which is excellent but an inconvenience to set up whenever I get the urge to use it. It's like a troll, lives in a box under my desk and only comes out at night.
