Gaming controller

[V36]

I'm trying to figure out which gaming controller to buy...

 

Looking at the Steam controller, Xbox one, and PS4. I would be most comfy on the Xbox one but I can adapt to new controllers pretty easy. Which one would be easy to set up?

Also would i need bluetooth? I currently dont have BT on my PC so wired would prob work best.

 

Other recommendations are welcome

 

Thanks!

I personally hate the steam controller. I just use my ps4 controller.

You can get a 2 dollar bluetooth dongle which would work fine.

Xbox 360 controller is one of my favorites but remember if u are buying the xbox one controller buy the v2 beacause it has alot of improvements.

I'd say the Xbox 360 or Xbox One, simply because XInput has a hard-on for either of those two controllers and using anything else that isn't similar may result in your millage varying.

I like the PS4 controller. It's better than the Xbox 360 controller, and the Xbox One bumpers are shit and the sticks seem so tiny.

I despised the PS3 controller for what it's worth.

Xbox 360 or one for sure

I use a PS2 controller with  USB adapter. I use it when I want to chill out and play San Andreas on the couch but I don't want to suffer with low settings and an even lower frame rate on the PS2.

thanks for all the feed back. I'm def torn between the xbox one and the ps4 controller. I heard ALOT of mixed views on the steam so I guess ill stay away from that

If you're looking for a controller for the pure purpose of playing console like games, then I strongly recommend the XBox 360 controller. Many prefer it over the XBox One controller. The Steam Controller is very adaptable to games that aren't really meant to work with a controller, but if you're just playing controller based games then it's not as good as a standard controller. I'd get an XBox 360 wireless USB dongle and some XBox 360 wireless controllers. I actually have that setup in my living room right now on a mini ITX rig with a shitload of emulators and steam big picture mode, and it's great.

The 360 controller just works with anything out of the box, so top points for easy, but keep in mind the D pad is an ungodly evil unparalleled in this temporal plane (it's really bad)
