General question - which game controller do you use?
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2016 12:20 pm
I'm looking at Game Controllers at the moment and there seems to be a lot of divided opinion on various fora. The Bitcraze favourite seems to be a PS3 or compatible. This is where I am at the moment.
My Android devices - Sony Xperia Z tablet and Samsung Galaxy S5 phone.
My PC devices - Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and Raspberry Pi (oh, and Linux Mint). No CarazyRadio yet, though.
From what I have read so far:
PCs - XBox 360 has native support. PS3 requires additional software. I don't know if this is still the case.
Android - PS3 support built in, Xbox 360 perhaps not.
Assume for the moment I go for a PS3 (or compatible controller).
I can buy a cheap one for about £7.50 UKP; are the cheap controllers O.K.?
Should I be looking at a standard PS3 game pad layout or would a joystick be a better option for flying?
So the question is, which game controller do YOU use (and why)?
(1) For PC
(2) For Android?
Thanks.
