i donāt have big hands and the fat part of my thumb has easy access to all four buttons
Playing Monster Hunter got me accustomed to resting my thumb on the top/right triangle/circle buttons and now resting it on the front/bottom square/X buttons feels weird to me. I was always meant to keep my thumb up there apparently. When I remapped the Super Metroid controls I delayed my self actualization by 25 years

Of course they announce Switch SNES controllers after I go through the trouble of acquiring the Wii version. Limit 4 per customer, but Iāve got a family plan so I guess Iāll just buy 32 of these.

i bought an sn30 pro plus to solve a software dilemma (which it handily has). now that i Have the Thing i sort of resent the design for attempting to reconcile olde-time-faithfulness with modern compatibilityā¦ it ends up less than optimal in both roles. if you have to own one pad i suppose itās fine enough, tho gyro & switch compatibility aside i donāt think anyone would really be better served by this than an xbone controller for a given task. some people seem to think ill of the switch proās dpad?
speaking of gyroā¦ i havenāt played a splatoon or a botw or etc. people seem fond of it? by people i guess i mostly mean the specialist community of steam controller hangers-on who remain in 2019. they recommend starting with a doomlike and moving up to a lightgunner/stop-n-pop to acclimate so iām gonna give that regimen a try i guess.
how do yall fps shootman from the couch? is living room m+kb from ten feet to tv less shameful than i imagine it? should i suck it up and stick to thumbsticks?
100% gyro if a game supports it, gyro+sticks is immeasurably better than sticks alone. as far as Iām concerned, Splatoon is the golden standard, where the third person view and the concept of combining the two into a singular aiming solution gave way to (seemingly) an assumption that you control the camera with the right stick and aim with the gyro (in Splatoon, the only way to aim on the Y-axis is to either use gyro aim or turn it off). I think this led to the refinement in Splatoon 2, where they decoupled the stick and gyro sensitivities, so you can definitely recreate the experience of taking a single shot from behind, doing an instant 180 and popping whoever did with high accuracy. gyro aim is good enough in the games Iāve played with it (Splatoon 1+2, Switch Paladins, Gravity Rush Remaster+2) that itās the main reason Iām probably gonna double dip when Overwatch comes out next month
when I do play a shootman on the system I have setup at the TV, I have my steamcon or Switch Procon set up similarly in Steam (the steamcom has the advantage of being able to set up ātriggersā for the gyro, which I usually do by having the gyro off unless it registers touch on the right pad
all that said, I want to get a wireless KBM setup because of burgeoning Xbone support

yeah this works so well i feel disinclined to set it up on a pad with sticks unless thereās an obvious bind that overlaps like ironsight/aim/whathave
I tried that on my Pro and maybe my DS4 and it just doesnāt work; itās either too sluggish (when emulating an analog stick) or too finicky (when emulating a mouse). one of the subtle design wins of the steam controller that you donāt realize until later is that a touchpad is slid along whereas an analog stick is pushed. if you have the gyro set to activate on stick input, youāre always fighting it back into place just ever so slightly, where the touchpad just needs your thumb resting on it
