A Logitech F310.

No but seriously most controllers on PC use Xinput so i guess a PS5 controller?

Unfortunately, directInput controllers are kind of rare, since the Microsoft bastards bribed everyone to focus on their worthless xinput crap.

Plenty of controllers support both, with a button combo or toggle switch to switch between them.

I don't know about direct inout, but I like the GuliKit King Kong controllers, they're hall effect and I use them on my PC and Switch 2.

dinput and xinput are compatible with each other

only real diff is dinput can handle more controllers, but xinput can handle more axis/buttons

as for a controller,

I have the 8-Bitdo ultimate 2 Bluetooth controller and it's already randomly disconnecting when I plug it in.

I like to play with my controllers plugged in all the time.. with the ultimate 2 when plugged in it recognizes it as an 360 controller.

I had the GuliKit King Kong pro controller before the 8-Bit one.
It didn't have analog triggers with the switch mode and direct input recognized as a 360 controller

Before then I had an PS5 controller but it started to stick drift.

Sony needs to get it act together and put whole effect joysticks on their controllers and it only cost like three bucks more maybe..

I really like having extra buttons or a touchpad that could be mapped to extra buttons with steam input

try a different usb cable if its disconnecting while plugged in

It is a new cable.

Microsoft is stupid. Instead of having a direct input application where users could assign different types of controller icons to (Joy one)
Joy 2) (Joy 3) and so on. And whenever the game uses (Joy one) the icon that the user has in the application of direct input the game could read that and assign that icon whenever (Joy one) is required to be pressed.

It shouldn't have been that hard to implement. And then the games were just used direct input API forever.

Does the 8-Bit do ultimate 2c wired controller mapable L4 R4 buttons?


I noticed they're wired controllers are better than their wireless currently using a wired Xbox controller from them.

The wired controllers build quality is better then their wireless ones

^ GuliKit KK3 Pro is what I'd also recommend given the OP's stipulation. They are hall effect sticks and you can set them to have different output modes so you can configure it to output as a Switch controller, or you can configure it to output as direct input (directx) like an Xbox controller.

Alternatively, wait until Q1 next year and get the new Steam Controller if it's for use with PC/Steam. It has better sticks than what hall effect does (TMR); which has better precision than hall effect and should last as long or longer than hall effect sticks.

You are describing Steam Input. Valve already solved this for PC by disassociating "button press" to do a thing and instead abstracting that thing as "do action" then Steam Input can dynamically associate that action with whatever button is configured to perform that action and the input Glyph will automatically adjust based on the input device you are using.

How much better is the 3. I have the 2. D input mode does not have analog triggers

It has hall effect sticks and triggers and it does have analog trigger input; not 100% on if you put it into dinput mode if they work but that may be a limitation of dinput. When you set it to PC mode it defaults to xinput as an Xbox controller and they work as analog triggers in that; I use the KK3 Max for Rocket League and use the analog triggers for analog air-roll.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 should have Dinput mode, the Ultimate 2C has it. My Ultimate 2C sometimes disconnects randomly when i move the cable, there is bad contact between the cable and the connector on the controller, I don't know how they overlooked it. Different cable might fix it.

Logitech F310 is a garbage tier controller, i could write a wall of text about how bad the controller is and its flaws. Good luck playing games with it where you have to hold shoulder buttons, because this controller stops registering their input if you put some pressure off the buttons.

This one looks decent, not sure of the brand "gamesir" personally:

not bad for $16 on sale, prefer the PS style but not sure it uses x or direct input...
