Is it still worth getting an analog controller if you play on KB+M ?

[Chomiq]

what were those ?

It's seamless now, once the game recognizes controller input it switches everything to it. That means your button prompts, UI elements, etc get switched to match your controller. Anything that got released as multi platform title definitely supports it.

Currently playing AC:Odys and it's even too easy, since barely moving mouse on the desk while using the controller register ingame. It doesn't affect the gameplay at all, you mostly notice it during loading screens.

As for controller choice, grab XO with dongle for PC. Uses 2xAA batteries, I'm running mine on eneloops and they last multiple sessions before recharge even with rumble on. DS4 is fully supported in steam but since it uses built-in battery and battery life is so-so I wouldn't recommend it for PC.

Yeah, that's the one I got. On sale it can be had for 179 or 169.

I upgraded to the xbone wireless controller about a month ago and it's been pretty great so far. You just need to grab a pair of rechargeable AA for it. It'll get you the best compatibility out of the box, though I think the DS4 isn't too bad now that Steam added official support.

I still laugh when I see xbone for xbox 1.

I'm using a g903 and soon to buy a mk730 kb (using deathstalker now).
Do you still use an analog controller for any games ? does it perform better for any specific type ?

It depends on the game and your playing style. FPS, SIM and RTS type games are best played on a KB&M. However RPG's, ARPG's, action, driving/racing and other such games are best played with a controller.

I personally have a Razor gaming KB&M setup and a pair of dual port Wii Classic controller to USB adapter and two Wii Classic controllers(the ones with the hand grips) for each.

Too pricey for what one gets... 8BitDo controllers have similar quality at half the price.

Not saying it's worth it. But since OP went from $40 to ca. $120 within two posts...

And if he wants to play fighting games there are always arcade sticks which start at €100 for a decent unit.

I use a PS3 controller on a usb cable with SCP Driver Package. I also have a few Xbox 360 Wired controllers but I prefer the shape of the PS3 controller. This driver makes Windows see the PS3 controller as an Xbox 360 controller.

It's a rebranded Mayflash F300 ($53 on amazon) with added bluetooth.

I use the ds4 controller with 8bitdo adapter(grey ps classic) I can use xinput mode on the ds4 controller no issues. No confusing software either.

If I never got into ps classic I would not have known this "secret" combination.

Thats pretty neat, I tried using my Z370 Taichi's bluetooth with my Sony DS3 PS3 controller, got it to pair a few times with my PC but it never wanted to work correctly, it only saw inputs when I plugged it in with USB. Maybe the 8bitdo would be a solution. However, the Taichi's bluetooth has no problems with a wireless remote/mini keyboard and a wireless headset.

That's not a bad thing if you like 8BitDo's restyling. Mayflash is a corded(USB) stick whereas the 8BitDo is Bluetooth. However, the Mayflash is an excellent brand and makes quality merch. Ordered a pair for a client and he loves them;

I have the Elite, while expensive is a very high quality product worth the extra cost IMHO and I’ve had the 360 and Xbone pads. I love the coating alone, it just feels so nice to hold and after at least 2 years of regular usage it’s shown no signs of wear anywhere . The extra paddles are a bit gimmicky but I use them to shift gears in racing games like FH4 for example.

I have that same stick(2 of them/me and bro) really well made. I still want to mod with colored buttons but never get around to it.

will this work alright with a wireless mouse and a wireless pad too ?

If you mean the 8bitdo usb adapter yes will work without conflicting with other devices.They only support what the firmware allows.

I use mine on pc and ps classic. Its really universal to be honest.

I'm surprised no one has meantioned the Wooting KB yet. It gives you the best of both worlds as each key can be analog, or digital, depending on your preference.
