Shaq is the answer for âwho can use the dukeâ. My fingers are just not long enough to use it well at all. it works for my palms alright, but not my fingers. I can get used to it and do alright with everything but the black/white buttons. The new shoulder buttons on the re-release are not great either, but they are OK.
i can use modern Xbox and PS4 controllers well enough, and i know how to deal with the problems my hands have with them, but man it would be cool not to need to do that.

Are there any non-plastic or mostly non plastic controllers?

There are replacement shells milled out of aluminum but theyâre very expensive (e.g. $100 for a set of joycons)
Similar approaches for custom wood shells, either carved or 3D printed and finished
Iâd be curious to cast a replacement shell out of platinum silicone

Iâve seen some things on etsy for wooden keycaps and stands, so thatâs what got me thinking about it. I wonder if it would be possible to make a comfortable and responsive NES controller shell + buttons out of wood.
NES controller would be the easiest because itâs rectangular. The difficulty comes in when youâre working with parabolas.
No reason a dpad or button needs to be plastic â itâs just a cap â but the internal membrane does. You would probably want a polyurethane finish on them, though, for friction and fit. Imagine two cut shellacked wood edges rubbing? Not pleasant.

The trouble with the DualSense is that Sony has implied they wonât license any controllers that arenât âspecialty peripherals.â I hope the DualSense QC issues force them to reverse the policy and just support all PS4 pads.

Thatâs so silly, but also very Sony.

The market is absolutely flooded with third party DS4 pads (though thankfully unlike DS3s theyâre generally not actually counterfeit, just recognizable weird off-models) and itâs something Sonyâs eng people seem to complain about a lot. The same with third party Switch pads, and I donât know how they realistically think theyâre going to mitigate this next gen when they want OSS support to get the DualSense working on Android/embeddeds. The haptic speakers are an off-the-shelf part and I donât really think the triggers will last long as a preventative feature.
I think the only factor holding the floodgates at the moment is nobody actually owns a PS5 yet.
nice model m condom

Hori Mini Wired is probably the easiest to come by, there are plenty for Switch tho
the DualSense is indeed too big. the S|X pad is smaller than the Xbone pad !

Iâm over here feeling nostalgia for the days when huge monolithic corporations were super cold and faceless instead of trying their best to be hip on social media.

the industrial model m is quite rare now and usually sells for stupid prices
that big chunky power switch and the whirring noise it makes when it starts up makes me want one of these to control⌠something cool and important

Have honestly been thinking about experimenting with using a mouse + Xbone pad in this manner if games will let me.
edit: On PC, I mean
Itâs a shame you canât use VR controllers for 2D games like a split Steam controller (or can you?)
Controllers force your shoulders forward/together unless your frame is very narrow.
