[POLL] Steam or Xbox 360 or Xbox One Controller?

As much as I adore Steam Controller for it's multifunctionality, it sucks ball when playing shooter games. I prefer to play singleplayer Third Person Shooter game with a controller and idk, maybe I'm just used to control the camera using the right Analog and I can't seem to aim at anything with Steam's touchpad. Other genre works great though.

I use a PS4 controller (with DS4Windows), so I'll recommend that. Never liked the D-Pad on xbox controllers.

Tried out the One controller and boy, its on another league. Get it

I would say the xbox one controller is the best choice, although I voted for the xbox 360 ones because they are the only ones I have personal experience with. I use both the wired and wireless (with dongle) version of the 360 controller and I can't remember ever having any problems. Microsoft will want to install some drivers and software, but you can uninistall the software and the drivers will still work so that's good! (Otherwise the software messes a bit with big picture mode and steam overlays when you use the center button on the controller).

Wireless is nice but you do end up using a lot of batteries if you don't get rechargable ones! Like I said though everything I hear makes me recommend the xbox one controller instead of the 360. It's just more of the same and even better!

Since you play fighting games you'll definitely want a DS3 or DS4 for their pads. No questions asked.

I recommend using the search to see the past times this has been asked, there should be at least 5 threads you can read through to get more opinions.

I use DualShock 4, because the D-pad on Xbox One is too hard (not difficult, but force need) to press, and Xbox 360 D-pad is too floaty/inaccurate for me, not good on old (platform) games that have no analog stick support.

But for firearm shooter, Xbox has superior triggers (because most of these games like to use trigger to fire the guns). Although I hate playing these games with gamepad because my aiming is so laughable. (can't aim even when enemy is next to me, ouch)

I suggest to go to nearby video game store, to see if you can test gamepad on demo machines. :)

I've tried several, but have to say the PS4 controller feels best for me. I use it for quite a few Steam games. Sadly it feels like my PS4 is gathering dust, but the controller gets a regular workout :-)

I have no experience with Xbox One or Steam controllers. Been using Xbox 360 controllers (both wired and wireless) for years, and I'm used to them.

I use a Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad. More heavyweight, but very good.

Other: Logitech F310/F710 i.e. the controller that used to be in the photo on store pages for "Big Picture Mode" before Valve changed it to their controller when it came out.

I prefer the One controller. it's just a better version of the 360 one. and if you have the money - the elite controller. best controller i ever had, but it's not cheap.

I've owned a xbox 360 in the past. now I have a One and the improvements are immediately noticeable in the controller, the 360 was great but the One is superior and feels better in your hands.

I didn't try the One, but I like the 360. I also own a Steam controller but only use it to browse the web, legs up :-)

I use the Xbox 360. Got it 6 years ago, and love it since.
It actually got broken a while ago, but last week I bought a new 360 controller.
I preferred it over the One, possibly because I'm already used to the 360, and because it costs 30$ less.

PS3/PS4

PS3 controller. Best analog sticks and overall feeling by my opinion. Installation procedure:

I have both a 360 controller (not wireless) for windows and an xbox one controller wireless ( i guess for windows) that came with my occulus rift , in my opinion you cant go wrong with any of them they are great and they work with all games without any additional programmes, i havent tried the steam controller but from the looks i dont think its my style, plus games also recognise the xbox controllers and you are golden with key mapping

Xbox 360 (wired) just plug and play, solid af.
