Recommend gamepad for PC

[lurker88]

I just bought the PC version of FF15 and realised that gamepad could be easier to execute moves and commands than keyboard. As I seldom play games on my pc, i am looking for a cheap gamepad just to play this game. Maybe also source from Carousell. Any recommendations? Thanks

logitech one is decent and value for money

For the best plug and play option without any additional configs, get the Xbox controllers. They last pretty long too. Generic gamepads need additional configs and might not support Xinput for games.

Tks all. Will consider logitech and xbox

From own usage:

PS3
PS4 - Heavier, smaller buttons, lower battery life, for not much real benefit
XBox 360 - the analog stick doesn't last well with age... while the d-pad doesn't allow for precise inputs so I still end up using the analog stick despite first statement

And never go for those "OEM" China / fakes, bought a PS3 lookalike and didn't even play finish one game with it before I tore it apart to see how I could fix it because the input quality was atrocious.

I sold away my PS3 and dont intend to buy PS4. Currently my games are purchased from steam to be played on PC. So far no problem on my keyboard

But ytd I bought FF15 and realised that keyboard very hard to execute the commands thus thinking of a gamepad. So what game pad did you use for PC games?

Microsoft designed the controllers to be compatible with both Xbox and windows. Don't worry. Provided the game supports Xinput which the get will state that it's compatible with controllers.

Since ff15 was a console game first, it obviously supports controllers

PC games? Mouse and keyboard accuracy

A console game on a PC is still a console game

Maybe I didnt elaborate well. After switching to PC games. I bought 2 games which are FF13 and we are billions. Using keyboard was a breeze. Then when i installed FF15, I thought buying a gamepad could be easier coz when i played the game, I found it hard to coordinate the movements using keyboard. Therefore my question to you was - do you play games on your PC? If so, using keyboard or gamepad? If gamepad, what brand are you using just to get a sensing

I use gamepads depending on games. If it's games like nba where the analog is used often, definitely gamepad. Fps games like rainbow six siege, will use kb/mouse. Using PS4 controller simply because I have PS4 and am not willing to invest on another gamepad. Have to use 3rd party tools for non-steam games and steam to configure the controller.

That's why Xbox controller is great. No additional software required as it's natively supported by windows

Oic. Got a clearer picture now. Many tks

As said in my previous post, avoid this kind of stuff. Unless you don't mind poor input quality.

Even an old used official controller performs better than a new one of these.

Official XBox 360 wired controller lowest price around $30. Or you can find a second hand wireless controller and add the receiver.

I myself use PS3 controller via USB since I don't have the XBox receiver and I prefer PS3 controller anyway.

15 is so much easier on kb and mouse
