The reason people like the F310's D-pad is because it's a _Sega-style_ pad, which a lot of people swear by due to functioning in a different way from Nintendo-style d-pads. There's very few controllers these days that use a Sega-style d-pad, outside of actual throwback pads like 8Bitdo's own M30 pad or Retro-Bit's Sega controllers, such as the Saturn Pro (which has hall effect sticks!) Edit: Just for additional context for those who don't wanna look at the replies: It's the "floating" d-pad style that still feels good to use but also provides better feel and handling for diagonals, which is why a lot of fighting game players prefer it, but it's good for any game where you don't want analog control but also better handling for complex digital inputs.

I haven't tried it personally but hear me out: The floating D-Pad on that Logitech sounds AWESOME. Because you're not grabbing the controller with hands straight on, but at an angle. Put your hands out like you're holding an "air controller" and Move your left thumb "up", it doesn't go up but performs a small arc with a not insignificant curve to it. The floating d-pad will track your thumb as it's actually moving across the controller (again, not having used it) theoretically allowing for a more natural movement, especially when moving between d-pad directions (think, 180 move from "up to down"). It moving also helps prevent those thumbs sores which are a result of this very phenomenon - stiff, immutable d-pads and a higher-than-needed applied force with your thumb used to compensate for the angled movement (i.e., you push harder to ensure you're rotating the "right" way on the d-pad). I think it might be less specific for purely directional button presses (i.e., hitting "left then up then left" rather than a singular movement of left-to-up-to-left) but otherwise I'm... realllly interested in that floating d-pad design.

I did buy a Ultimate C for it a while ago but ended up setting it aside, as unlike the old problem that 8BitDo gamepads had in terms of registering multiple direction presses, the current Ultimate C (for me, at least) doesn't seem to register diagonals very well and makes it really hard to play those sorts of games with the d-pad, so I'll be using the F310 for the Linux PC for the foreseeable future.

Do need to replace bumpers on the xbox controller but can get a pack of 10 for a buck and easy enough to replace. No integrated battery either so its a simple battery change instead of having to be forced onto wire when battery runs out, which is great if you use rechargeable AA batteries. The 8bitdo really impressed me at the start but you only get 1 to 2 years life out of each of them & not being able to change battery is a pain in the hole.

Not only that, the F310 is basically a remix of the best industry solutions. It has a Saturn D-pad, a dualshock layout, but with Xbox triggers, that are properly heavy like the OG duke controller. So it is an A+ choice, for any game, that is digital input dependent, (emulators), and almost all indie games, which is a market that is huuge right now. It is also excellent for racing games, because of the classic pot, heavy sprung triggers. Hall effects are too light for proper throttle adjustment. Also it is wired, so no faffing around with batteries, or fighting with aliexpress to find the "right" replacement recargable one, it is cheap to buy. Also it has Dinput for older games, and Xinput for newer ones. But even that goes further. There are better and worse inplemented Xinput controllers. (In my view, this kinda has to do with what device ID the controller reports.) And the f310 is one of the GOOD ones. It works with a ps3, if hacked even in dinput mode, it works with an RGH-d 360 if it has the xinput lock patch (the series controller does NOT get the same privilage). Ps3 and 360 controllers, are almost impossible to buy these days in reasonable condition. It works with ancient games, and ancient versions of retroarch, because it reports as a dual action is dinput mode (which is a staple in the industry) The bottom line is, that this inexpensive, well made controller solves a lot of your problems, if you need a controller. The reason it is popular, is because it is a hall of fame GREAT product.

I think what kept the f310's going for so long was that it was for the longest time the solution to people wanting a Playstation controller on PC without resorting to crazy adapters/mods etc. I remember using a logitech controller for everything back in the day they even made wireless PS2 controllers that were basically the PS2 equivalent of the Gamecube wavebird which was amazing at the time. Add that to the fact that they were freaking indestructible (mine was tossed around in a laptop bag for YEARS without the sticks ever drifting or a single button breaking) and you have a winner for a lot of people

8bitdo owner here. I own the ultimate Bluetooth controller (the one with hall effect sticks and triggers) and both are reported to get drifting issues. The membrane for the triggers gets cut by the trigger, making them stop working after some use. For a controller that you're paying extra for to get parts that aren't supposed to ever drift, this is outrageous. I got a free replacement controller 11 months after my purchase and will try getting another one when (not if) my replacement gets the same issues. I also own an sn30 pro 2. Both controllers have miserable d pads. They're the worst I've ever used outside the 360 controller. Super mushy and diagonals hurt like hell and don't always register. I tried switching to 8bitdo for it's back paddles, but ended up going back to my 8 year old DS4 because of how much better that is.

Very responsive and wakes up on pressing a button, goes to sleep after a minute or so of not pressing any button. On PC is immediately identified by any game as "Xbox controller" and had no issues with compatibility.

The best thing about the F310/F510/F710 family from Logitech (and they've killed F510 since then, it was basically Rumblepad 2, but better) is the DirectInput/Xinput switch at the back, which is a killer feature for older pre-Xinput PC games and emulators if you don't want to have specialized "like the original" controller for systems you're emulating. For whatever reason 8bitdo controllers that have the same switch do not work properly in Dinput mode and consider it the "Android pairing mode". And as such, there's just no other modern alternative to work as both proper DirectInput and proper XInput controller that I know of.

What's interesting now are shoulder buttons. They are not traditional buttons but instead lever action like button so it got one pivot point and just one side moves. This also makes it so there's no wiggle into them what so ever and I did have lot of sessions with it. Also the way buttons are made it ensures that they won't wear off after time like on my other controller. Also back light is appropriate to xbox ones For those wondering about scratching transparent buttons...I can ensure you that after like year and half they still clean to read without issues

I would like to share with you a negative experience I had with a device, namely a Nancon Asymmetrical PS4/PC controller. I am sure you are somewhat familiar with controllers or gamepads used for video games on consoles like the Playstation, XBox and also PC. They come both in wired and wireless varieties. The wireless ones come in two main varieties - bluetooth and 2.4ghz, similarly to mice and keyboards. As you likely know, the 2.4Ghz variety has a proprietary USB dongle that is most often tied to a single device, or can sometimes be paired to a similar device or another device of the same model. If you lose the dongle, you are SOOL unless the device supports a wired operation mode - something it may or may not do. That is why some people gravitate toward Bluetooth wireless devices. The bluetooth variety usually is compatible with any bluetooth receiver, be it a USB dongle, a PCI or PCIE card, or an mSATA module, or bluetooth in a phone. The main word there is USUALLY. Some models, like 1st edition XBox One controllers or PS3 controllers, do not work with any Bluetooth dongle - you need a SPECIAL Bluetooth adapter or modified drivers to run them wirelessly with a regular bluetooth. The saving grace is that these models usually offer the ability to run them in WIRED mode, as well. So, if your PS3 breaks, you can use the PS3 controller on your PC with a cable - suboptimal, but at least it works. Now, Nacon, in all of their wisdom, produces the Nacon Asymmetric controller - priced around 50-60 US dollars. Certainly not one of the premium professional controllers that go for a 100 bucks or more, but definitely not the Walmart 20 dollars brand. The controller is very clearly, unambiguously marketed as a BLUETOOTH controller. HOWEVER, it is very much of the variety that requires a proprietary dongle that comes included. As it is a proprietary dongle, if you were to lose it, break it, or it simply died for no apparent reason (LIKE MINE DID), you could still use it with a cable - IF NACON BOTHERED TO ALLOW YOU TO DO SO! But they didn't. Instead, Nacon sells the dongle separately, for the low, low price of 22 dollars - almost half of the actual controller. To be fair to Nacon - they are not the only company who does this. However, they are the only ones I know of that sell a product that is so expensive and the replacement part is so expensive as well. With a Microsoft or Hama 2.4ghz keyboard, you at least know what you are getting into - you are buying a 20 dollar product with a proprietary dongle. With Nacon, you are misled into buying a "bluetooth" device that does not work with Bluetooth nor with a cable. To make matters worse - the replacement dongle is of questionable quality, as well. The reviews are not splendid. Some people fail to reconnect the device, for some the dongle dies, for some it never arrives. It has a mixed rating of 1 stars and 5 stars, mostly 1 star.

I've said it once, I'll say it many times more. Controllers using AA's is a better choice, it means in 10 years when the battery has worn out instead of having to either source a third party battery or struggle to find a replacement controller you'll be able to just buy some AA's.

I believe you might be wrong in stating that the only controller in this video with Dinput was the PS5 with dual sense. My 8-BitDo controller was a selector on the back for BOTH Xinput and Dinput. Though I have the Ultimate 2.4ghz, and I think the one you featured in the video was a different model. Either way, it's a fantastic controller. The included dock is great, and it effortlessly swaps from PC to steamdeck (via the aforementioned switch on back) Battery life is incredible, it's literally never died or even gotten close to dying (thanks to the dock) My only complaints are that the back paddles functionality only works on PC, and limited only to controller inputs. The settings IMO should be saved to the controller itself, and not be independent of the system it is being used on.

@@eziothedeadpoet Aside from what baron said there are other mechanical parts within the stick's re-centering mechanism that can still wear out over time causing issues in re-centering that can result in drift regardless of the type of sensor used.

@anonapacheАй бұрын
@@Sevicify You know that Apex pros and most higher level players play on no deadzone because of the stickdrift that often comes from the recentering spring? The stickdrift causes aimassist to be always active. And once you have adapted to the very responsive no deadzone, it's honestly a much better experience of gaming in general. Deadzones are just ass. And the new centering mechanism of the Flydigi Vader 4 is so well engineered, it probably will never be able to develop stickdrift at all.

On Windows Steam makes it so easy to use Playstation controllers (and Nintendo Switch too), literally just plug and play with no installation required as you said. Gets a bit more complicated if you're playing something outside of Steam, games have been better about natively supporting them though and there's the possibility of still using Steam Input by adding them to your Steam library as a non-Steam game. Then there's external software still like DS4Windows which is useful if something doesn't play nicely with Steam Input or you a system wide controller.
