even with these little quibbles, basically every fighting game allows you to remap buttons and since all 8 are addressable on saturn, it doesn’t end up being a problem at all in anything i’ve messed with yet
genesis is a little more annoying, i would really like to be able to have
X Y Z -
A B C -
but i haven’t figured out how to do that
I read that octagonal gates were originally designed for 3D sports games like Virtua Striker.
Oh damn, I realise I should’ve asked here… anyone know a place to get (preferably OEM or close enough as to not notice the difference) replacement sticks for an Xbox One controller that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to ship to Canada?
Microsoft only seem to want to do a repair if it were an Elite 2 controller or within a console’s warranty period (lol) so I’m kinda on my own, it seems.
I know ifixit US have them but it’s like $20 to ship $9 in parts, and they’re “used” so I feel unclear on how close to destroyed they are. 
I have a US PO box service and friends in seattle I use for this, trying to navigate canadian shipping for consumer electronics is basically pointless
lmk if you want to use either of those (obviously the latter is kinda fucked this year but I make exceptions for when I really really want coronavirus, where “coronavirus” is arby’s)
I still find myself pausing given the fact I can’t know the state of them. I wish Microsoft would just let me pay them to repair it, but they seem busy
Are the ones from Chinese ebay sellers uniformly garbage? Intuitively it seems like the product is simple enough that even knockoffs would be OK quality, but I genuinely have no idea. “Shady online electronics and underwear store” is just my automatic go-to.
Honestly, if it were any other controller I’d be less worried, but the Xbox One sticks have a complex texture and shape to them which I really like and don’t think I’d really trust the cloners to bother to get right? But maybe I’m wrong!
Then again, the OEM one has perished after only a few years of vigorous use, so maybe it’s a wash really.
that’s cool but MS has come forward and said anyone who wants to support the Xbox Adaptive Controller is more than welcome to so this seems a bit like a waste of having multiple accessibility platforms instead of the platform holders coming together and agreeing on a standard
something something the same could be said of games
meet sticks on face buttons
i dearly want to know what competitive/accessibility advantage in which vidcon this is for
It’s specifically for emulating this mobile game on PC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_of_Kings
Probably the all time top grossing videogame. Tencent bought Riot and told them to make mobile LoL, were told no, and so made their own. There are now upcoming (official) LoL and Pokemon flavoured spinoffs.
The arcade panel matches the onscreen touch controls to simulate them in software. The button-stick tops are capacitive, detecting when you’re using them. The big Pop’n style attack button is lit up with an LED.
It retails for about $15 USD.
Also it maybe just became illegal, lol.
Early rumblings on DualSense implementations. If you’ve got a SteamCon, dig it out and get the latest L4D2 update with all the community tweaks for a good idea. In a handful of ways the DualSense is promising a kind of beefier version of the Steam Input haptics experience and given how great it feels I think it’s gonna be pt well received, except by streamers and pros who will have it off by necessity. Curious how quick the hardware failure reports will start rolling in given it’s got a bunch of new moving parts, speaker coils, and a new electronics packed in on top of the DS4 stuff.
That’s want I want out of controllers is one big slappable light up button.
Just a giant run button to hold down while playing Super Mario Bros
These are weirdly more expensive than the first round, I think?
I’ve since learned I’m not a fan of DSA profile (spherical concave top, uniform across all keys)
I’m more just highly alarmed by how few keys there are
I dig the DSA tops but yeah, definitely not for everyone. definitely not 150 dollars though, lol.
would totally buy this thing to laugh at it if i could.
