Choose the gamepad that suits you

2024-03-19

If you are both a gamer and a gangster at the same time, you may have a better understanding of common big items such as graphics cards, cpus and motherboards, but many people don't know much about the controllers. In fact, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.

If you really want to play the game comfortably, a handle is necessary, because it does not require a person's posture, so you can play against the backrest, play lying down, and play on your stomach. And after properly set up the handle, after a period of familiarization, you can actually play back and forth with the keyboard and mouse players in the online mode of the pc game, and you can even abuse them.

At present, there are about three kinds of handles commonly used in the market.

DS4 controller (that is, the controller used by PS4)

Steam controller (the official Steam controller)

Xbox one controller and controllers with Xbox architecture introduced by third-party manufacturers (the more familiar ones are Beitong and Razer)

Let's put aside whether the game is supported or not, because if it is a genuine game, Steam can be adapted.

If you are a pirated player, you can only buy Xbox controllers from the beginning. Although there is an unofficial software for the DS4 controller to map the DS4 controller to the buttons of the Xbox controller, the software has some small bugs, and for the gyroscope and Support is too poor in areas where DS4 is superior, such as the touchpad.

And if you are a genuine game player, because the Steam platform comes with a very complete and highly playable mapping setting, so don't worry about not supporting it. For comparison and intuition, I made a picture and put it below. ↓

Both DS4 and Xbox controllers can use Bluetooth to connect, and the Steam controller comes with a receiver.

First of all, we must understand that among these three controllers, the only one that does not need to be set up can be used. Most manufacturers support the Xbox controller. If you are a person who doesn’t like tossing, then the Xbox controller is the best choice. , But because Xbox controllers do not have hardware such as touchpads and gyroscopes, it is almost impossible to play games that do not support controllers, such as "Civilization" and "StarCraft". Even in FPS games that support controllers, you can't feel comfortable. Lying on the sofa will fight against keyboard and mouse players, unless you have thousands of hours of experience using the controller.

After mapping, the DS4 and Steam controllers will map their own buttons to a virtual Xbox controller. After the mapping is completed, the DS4 controller still has more left and right touchpads and gyroscopes, while the STEAM controller has one more The gyroscope, the reason why it can play back and forth with the keyboard and mouse players, is due to the gyroscope.

I said that the Xbox controller can hardly play games that do not support the controller. Since almost the word is used, that is to say, it can still be played. Yes, Steam can actually map the Xbox controller, but because there is no touchpad and spinning top Yi, when playing "Civilization", only the joystick can be mapped to the mouse, which is not very convenient.

Steam, the controller settings of each game are saved separately, so don’t worry, you have to reset it after you play other games that require mouse operation, such as "Civilization", "The Sims", and "Diablo 3". This is Not used.
