[007agentHP]

minecraft

civilization

hitman absolution

portal

 

 

im thinking of going with the ps4 controller because im not a fan of the analog sticks on the xbox controllers. any recommendations?

Xbox One imo 

Its what I use in GTA V

 

Although PS4 is nice too!

[Kyuubixchidori]

xbox one or xbox 360 is your best bet IMO by a long shot, best support

Minecraft  has no controller support, FYI

 

An Xbox One / 360 controller has native support. I use it for GTA V which has poopy Keyboard controls.

I use a XBox 360 Controller now for over 3 years which works really well.
It's so easy to use and feels great.

Dualshock 4. No third party controllers can match the build quality or smootheness and if you don't like the Xbone layout there is no contest.

When you ask a PC gamer if they use a controller and which one they use, more often than not they will say either the Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller. But the Steam controller imo will be a better choice for the games you have listed.

please reread the the op, as it clearly states that im not a fan of the xbox 360 layout so any other recommendations?

I did read the OP. The PS3/PS4 controllers have no support and require you to buy a bluetooth dongle, fake the pairing of the Controller to the PC instead of the PS3 and then use 3rd party apps to basically trick windows into thinking it's an xbox controller. You'll need to map the controller for every. single. game.

 

I'm a PS2, PS3, PS4 user who has never owned an Xbox device. I bought an Xbox 360 controller.

 

There are Razer etc Keypads too, but they are modeled after the Xbox ones.

 

Just go Xbox if you want 100% native support.

no you said analog sticks not layout

[PudgyAstronaut]

A controller for minecraft!? wut? Anyway, you'll probably have the least trouble getting an xbox controller to work with your games... it is debatable whether it's the 'best' but it's probably the least hassle

mate im sorry but if you want a controller thats your only real option. 

[ShaithEatery]

Civ is going to be the real challenge, and supposedly the Steam controller with the touchpads works great for games like that.  Otherwise the other controller that I don't think anyone's mentioned here yet is the Nvidia Shield controller which works with PC's (have to use it wired though).  Granted the layout is fairly similar to the 360 controller but you get things like a trackpad to control your mouse curser, volume control, and a thumbstick that feels more sensitive (i personally prefer the 360 thumbstick, but without knowing why you don't like the xbox thumbsticks at least the Shield controller feels different)

Then better get used to an XBox controller, cause it is the only one that will work every single time with Windows cause it is supported directly by Microsoft.

You'll need to map the controller for every. single. game.

 

umm, no you don't, it works just like a 360/ xbox one controller would. I know because I've used a ps3 controller before to play watchdogs and sleeping dogs on the pc. Also you can use a usb cable instead of buying a Bluetooth adapter. 

[Yoinkerman]

I prefer the 360 controller or snes controller.

Or a Wii u controller

[Overkilled]

Xbone controllers are pretty shit quality especially when it comes to drifting

[Colonel_Gerdauf]

You should be just fine with the DualShock 4; just get some sort of third-party software, and optionally an add-on that for regular Bluetooth, and you are good to go.

 

If you are willing to venture into game-pads, get the Logitech RumblePad 2 if you can find it.

Thank you all for your comments, and i think ill go with the dual shock 4.thanks to me before mapping the wii u tablet controller for pc, i was able to learn how to use glovepie, software to map controller functions over Bluetooth. i have no problem coding ( and yes, its not drag and drop, it is programming)  for every game i want to play. thank you all gentlemen of the internet for your advice!

Just saying that Minecraft PC can only be controlled with Keyboard and Mouse, without the use of old mods that wont let you play on multiplayer.
