methods of input (Part 1)

I’m on the hunt for XInput wired controllers that aren’t $50. I am down to two options


Pro: I know it is durable
Con: Doesn’t feel as good as the one below

and


Pro: It feels great, almost as good as an X360 wired controller. I have the Switch PDP controllers w/ the same parts and they’re great.
Con: Bad Amazon reviews scare the fuck out of me. There are a lot.

I don’t know where to get good reviews of this shit.

Think about the lifetime you need out of these; as demo controllers durability problems aren’t a huge deal but the controller probably shouldn’t be a bottom-barrel ‘we kept the plastic molds’ clone.

picture ruined by very bad fake labels on the carts

The B and A labels on the Gameboy itself look like they’re in the Chicago font too.

I think it’s all a 3D rendering.

Just renders at this point, but Hyperkin (yeah :frowning:) is seemingly making a Horipad Mini N64 clone with bluetooth. The receiver will allow you to backup memory card saves.

i think my perfect pad is the form factor / lightness of a genesis pad, but with 6 equal size buttons, 2 shoulder buttons each side

I forget whether 8bitDo or Retro-bit is the one to avoid, as 8bitDo is also prepping a Sega controller

Retro-Bit started out with some serious crap, and I’m not sure if they’ve stepped it up over the last couple years. I really hope so…

I find 8BitDo’s online following strangely offputting, but their recent Game Boy-inspired dual analog pad feels really nice (although the stick sensitivity seemed to be waaaay off in Switch mode).

I won’t speak to the build quality until I buy one but if Sega is licensing them and they’re seemingly using something like real molds, why the hell not trust them for a minute
