[@titusarnklint8581]

For me the Wii U pad has one flaw: glossy plastic. Other than that, it's the best controller ever. The short battery life is an easy fix with having it be connected to the charger when you play and the screen is good for mini maps as well as when you just wanna play lying in your bed and don't want to put a TV at the foot-end (played a LOT of AC: Black Flag during school lockdown at home like this while listening to classes and chirping in from time to time, such good times). Also, feels so great to hold unless you are a weakling. Anyone else agree?

[@rouge939]

Having to connect it to a charger the whole time you play isn’t a good solution and doesn’t alleviate the terrible battery life. Also what’s the point of playing on the gamepad if you need to have the WiiU plugged in, turned on and within 10 feet? It’s really not a good controller. Having a minimap on the touch screen isn’t worth the $150 it added to the WiiU price or the fact that it made the console harder to develop for and made the graphics weaker because it had to waste so much power on the gamepad

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the start/select buttons on the Xbox One controller are supposed to be: The three lines = the depiction of a pause menu, just incredibly simplified The two boxes = most games when you pressed select brought up an in game menu, where you look at your weapons, skills, etc. I’m pretty sure the the box behind the second box is the game, and the box in front of it is the menu brought up from pressing select Or maybe they’re just dumb symbols

[@rita-Shi-Mi]

Well,The Two Box Button is used as a Menu Button in Roblox so it's usable

[@icymariobros3793]

DanGames .KZbin its menu in fortnite and minecraft so

[@SirNarax]

Three lines are called the hamburger button they have been around since the 1980s but recently got popular to mean "menu" which is close to what it meant when it was created. It has become a pretty standard now a days. The two overlapping boxes is called the "View" button and it appears to be made up by microsoft. Probably got it from windows. So developers use the view button as a sort of information window. This could be an inventory or some kind of map. I don't know exactly how that button is used as I don't even own a console I am a PC gamer.

[@Ehmehheh]

@@SirNarax learned something new

[@Liggliluff]

Xbox described their version of start and select to be menu and view. In the olden games, you selected the mode with select, and then pressed start to being the game This was a stupid design because you had a D-pad and an A-button, but whatever. Xbox reasoning why the "start" name made no sense is because in modern times, you use A to start something. The title screen says press A, for example. The start button was therefore used to pause the game, the opposite of starting. So the new button is menu, press it to access the menu, it even makes sense on the title screen. Most games will bring up a menu with this button Xbox called their select button "back" on Xbox and Xbox 360, which wasn't a good name. That was associated with the B-button. Press B to go back. The select/back button is used in modern games to less commonly used features; online games might bring up the leaderboard, other games might show a map, change view, reset positon and more. Most commonly it's used to view something or affect the view, hence why the name works. It isn't the perfect name, but it works. - Then you got Forza Horizon 3 that puts the pause menu on the View button, ruining it. The pause menu should go on the menu button.

Honestly the PS4 controller is the most comfortable controller I used. I think it’s because I’ve played it for so long but still I never struggle to use it, it feels perfectly comfortable, I like it’s set up. I think it’s a 10/10 controller

[@shreknskrubgaming7248]

I would have to agree, the only issue I have is how much I have to replace mine. Back when I had a PS4, I would go through controllers like crazy and I took good care of them. It would always be the same thing that screws up; the analog sticks (though I did also have a trigger mess up once too.) When I had a 360, I played with the controller that came with the console for years with no issues whatsoever. If there was a controller with the comfort of PS4 but the durability (in my experience) of the 360, that would be amazing.

[@leonro]

@@shreknskrubgaming7248 Try replacing the sticks. I haven't looked into it, but there have to be some quality replacement parts that will last you for longer than the originals.

This is why I love Scott The Woz. Some really in-depth looks at something already covered before, or something that people don't know a lot about. You bring humor and interesting views onto a subject that has been done often before.

[@SmashFail]

I like how he doesn't chase after trends, and instead discusses random topics that aren't covered by everyone else at the moment.

[@kaisersoymilk6912]

In depth except that he completely skipped all computer controllers we Europeans grew up with (Quickshot, Suncom, Speedlink, etc...), too bad.

[@FGC_JohnDo]

You do know he ignored the fact about Arcade Controls, right?

[@Heebie-Deebies]

He seemed to be focused on console controllers. If he looked at all different controllers of every arcade machine, the video would be too long. He mentioned how arcade controls are all different anyway.

[@kaisersoymilk6912]

I wasn't talking about arcades but controllers for home computers (C64, Spectrum, Amstrad, Amiga, ST...), we grew up with those machines instead of consoles, the NES in Europe was as rare as the NEO GEO. And while I agree that not much evolution happened in home computer controllers (after all, they were all cross-compatible), still a little trip on the memory lane wouldn't have hurt.
