Super Default!<p>I got me this game controller for my phone. It's a little bit tacky with those bright LEDs but playing XBOX remote on it is a real game changer for me! Works *really* well. And then there is Fantasian from Apple Arcade too 🥰<br><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/gamecontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamecontrollers</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xbox</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/playstationportal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playstationportal</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/pajama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pajama</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/pajamasallday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pajamasallday</span></a></p>
Thad<p>The Retro-Bit Origin8 is a perfectly decent NES-style 2.4GHz wireless controller (with TG16-style turbo switches, 4 shoulder buttons, Home, and Screenshot). Unfortunately even with the rounded corners it hasn't improved on the NES controller's ergonomics much. I know there's nostalgia associated with that shape, but the dogbone is the superior NES controller and I wish there were more clones of that design.</p><p><a href="https://retro-bit.com/origin8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">retro-bit.com/origin8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://brontosin.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://brontosin.space/tags/GameControllers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameControllers</span></a> <a href="https://brontosin.space/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://brontosin.space/tags/TurboGrafx16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TurboGrafx16</span></a> <a href="https://brontosin.space/tags/PCEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCEngine</span></a></p>

183231bcb<p><span>Okay fedifriends, please give me advice on buying a game controller. <br><br>EDIT: I ended up buying an 8bitdo Ultimate controller. Thank you!<br><br>Some background: I currently play indie games with native Linux support. But I grew up with consoles, and I still think that I'd be more comfortable with a controller for some kinds of games than with a keyboard In particular, I'd like to play precision platformers with a controller. I also think a controller would be good for homebrew made for old consoles.<br><br>I have a strong preference for wired peripherals over wireless, and a strong preference for peripherals that don't require their own batteries. <br><br><br>When I sit down to game, I generally want to be able to start playing right away without much set-up. If a game won't launch, I </span><i><span>might</span></i><span> spend a few minutes adjusting drivers or settings, or I might immediately give up on that game and pick a different game.<br><br>Hence, I'd prefer if possible to find a controller that works "out of the box" with a large number of games. I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring button mappings. <br><br>So with that in mind, what controller would y'all recommend I buy?<br><br></span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/GameController" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameController</a><span> </span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/GameControllers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameControllers</a><span> </span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/GamingOnLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GamingOnLinux</a><span> </span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/PCGaming" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PCGaming</a><span> </span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/Platformer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Platformer</a><span> </span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/PrecisionPlatformers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PrecisionPlatformers</a></p>

Dokoro Tanuki<p>After the coffee spill trouble I went through yesterday, I went through the process of cleaning my entire affected GameCube controller inside and out lol. Was fun to do at least.</p><p>I even cleaned the cable a little after, using a little soap and water on a paper towel and running it through. Nice to have a grime-free controller with nothing in the crevices. Unfortunately there's some yellow discoloration along where the grime was trapped that I can't really remove, but oh well.</p><p>This is the White Smash 4 controller that I imported years ago since it was only slightly pricier than the black one and looked nicer. Plus a brand new one has a really nice matte textured plastic finish that the black one doesn't, though nowadays mine is worn to basically the same finish as the black Smash 4 one.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/GameCube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameCube</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/GameControllers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameControllers</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RoutineMaintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoutineMaintenance</span></a></p>
