Your controller

[Raziya The Seeker]

I've been using one of these for years now. Logitech F310. Reminds me of a classic Playstation controller in the hand, has all the modern buttons and acts as a XBox 360 controller when plugged in. I remember one of the earlier ones had stiffer joysticks but the one I have right now is very fluid. What more could I ask for?

Otherwise, I did go with an off-brand 360 controller as well. Always wired, because I can just plug it in and out of my computer's front ports as needed. Also, so I don't have to spend money on batteries.

Maybe a hot take, I found these to be more comfortable compare to X360 controller, remappable buttons and adjustable analog deadzone is a godsend.

I use it mostly on Retrobat so the main difference I noticed is the quality of the digital stick, the one on the 8bitdo is much better

How expensive would a Saturn and N64 controller for PC would be? I'd love to see one with the joystick for one and being like the Hori Pad Mini for the other.

A perfect N64 controller would allow both the D-pad and Joystick as well as the Z and L buttons to be reachable.

Toss another vote up there for the DualShock 4.

I have also owned an F310 which is a very good classic gamepad on the market for quite some time now. In my case, the D-pad was very shaky to the point of creaking when I exerted pressure on it.

Logitech's dpads were always garbage. They never bothered making one that wasn't a nightmare to use after a few minutes.

In fact, many Amazon reviews of this product and the F710 model complained of this problem. In my case I decided to return it after just a week.... too bad, because I liked the ergonomics of the pad, as well as its colorful buttons that contrasted with the blue of the body.

I was really happy I was able to get this. I absolutely adore Astro and knew I needed to get it before they got hard to find.
