Hey, what is up forum peoples!

I was wondering what controllers do you guys use (if any) and how do they work out for you?
I've been using a PS3 Dualshock 3 controller and it work(s/ed) great for my needs (already had them so no extra cost)
Now I tried out the PS4 Dualshock 4 and just love the touchpad that I'm usinG As a mouse! The reason I noW have a DS4 is because I picked up a PS4 so now I'll be set for future Playstation exclusives! :9)

If you have a Playstation system (PS Vita|PS3|PS4)7 feel free to add me: bugzkilla

TL;DR: What controllers do you Guys use on pc and what consoles do you have?

I am using a DS3 controller (DualShock 3 aka PS3 controller) via USB and an useful tool called ScpServer. It emulates it to work as an Xbox 360 controller and I am playing really old games and the newest with it, not a single problem so far. Even all emulators work with it (even rumble function on N64 and PS1 emulation).
You can also connect it via Bluetooth.

how do you get your bluetooth adapter to work, mine only works once you have setup everything, but once i reboot my pc, I have to reinstall everything and is so long. Can you help me out please!

I am using the same tool as you.

I used this tutorial. The only downside is you have to use that adapter as a DS3 controller adapter but then it should always work for you :)

I never had an adapter for my Xbox 360 controller, but I started using the Xbox one controller because it plugs in directly with a micro usb. only really use it for ported games or dynasty warriors

Sometimes I use my PS2 USB adaptor + PS2 controller, but most of the time I use my Xbox 360 controller.

And I don't have any "new" consoles, just old ones (SNES, DSi, PS1 and PS2) I'm full on PC gaming I guess... But I'll buy a New 3DS next year and maybe a Wii U.

PS2 Controller with a USB converter which you can get on the cheap from ebay. However, I'd rather have a Xbox controller since you don't have to fiddle around with X360ce or any other programs to get your controller to work.

I'll use the 360 controller on PC, but I'm tempted to move to the DS4. As for consoles owned... X360, WiiU (Great for couch co-op and first party games) and a PS4 for exclusives/imports/JRPGs. No plan to pickup an XONE.

I use a logitech F310, solid, cheap and flexible between XInput and DirectInput.

As far as consoles, grew up with a PS2 and got a Wii in high school, but they stayed with my siblings when I moved out, so none anymore.

A PS3 controller, not sure what type it is though, don't use it much except for platformers and racing, which I haven't played of in a while

I also got a Xbox360 controller and i'm pretty pleased with it, mostly with the thumbsticks placement, towards the PS standard plasment, but maybe one day, i'll get a PS-style one too. :D

I use:

  • Xbox 360 controller - duh!
  • Defender Cobra Mk.5 - a very nice joystick for a reasonable price
  • Saitek x52 throttle - makes a great HOTAS with my joystick
  • Freetrack - free alternative for TrackIR, I can't play sims without headtracking anymore!
  • Saitek R220 - a very basic, cheap steering wheel that I bought for pedals (cheap rudder!)

I'm not sure if you count voice commands as a controller, but if this is a case, then I also use VAC (makes a HUGE difference in ARMA series).

And I don't own any consoles. I don't have enough money nor space for them, gotta buy me some more controllers!

I use a Xbox 360 and a Xbox One controller.

i had the 360 one for years now, used for everything with the XBCD drivers, i could customize everything (deadzones, axis) the lot, loved it no problems to report, but its getting old even tough still works perfect the springs on the sticks are noticeable softer, so i got a..

Xbox one controller and its been dissapointing so far, as expected the Microsoft drivers are shit, the triggers use the same axis wich is bad if your are playing a racing sim were you could need to break and accelerate at the same time, some games detect but assing the buttons all wrong or even dont assign them at all, and overall the pad feels way cheaper, plasticy and is only available wireless, already dont see much point in wireless controller, since im sitting right there already but this one dosent even has an adapter, so the only way to use it on PC is trough a mini-usb cable wich if your familiar with them you know the connector will go soft afther a while and youll get disconnected with every little movement, so, pretty bad xd

TL:DR Xbox 360 awesome, Xbox one sucks

I just have a 360 wired controller. No consoles though. I'm waiting for a wireless Xbone controller for PC.

I have an Xbox 360 controller from Thrustmaster, works natively with Windows drivers, since it doesn't matter what brand is the controller if it's for X360, no problems.

My second controller is a Hori GEM Pad 3 Onix, shiny :3, it works just like a regular PC controller this means you have to configure it for different games, I use it for fighters, 2D shooters and emulator, since it has a much superior D-pad than Microsoft's controller.

Using Ps3 Dualshock 3(Thanks motioninjoy)

Use this instead for PS3 controllers, much better than Motionjoy, this and more, for Dualshock 3 and 4, once I installed it to use my friend's PS3 controllers and restarted PC, it just works as plug and play as a Xbox 360 controller would, no need to open the program every time, and no shitty ads. You can install as USB or Bluetooth.

Plug and play sounds so nice :)

It will run as a background thing, you won't even notice it's there. It works to me without any problems, if you install all correctly, should to you too, but only for Sony PS3 & PS4 controllers.

You can also use "Xpadder", but it's another thing, not a Motionjoy replacement, with this you can assign any keyboard or mouse button to a controller button, or even functions/scripts, this way you can for example play WoW with a controller, as my friend does, he even wins duels with it xd, and he also assigned the mouse cursor to the analog stick, so he can navigate his PC without moving from the bed.

Yup, I use this one too. Motioninjoy fried one of the USB ports and my bluethooth adapter on my last notebook, also it gave me a nice share of adwares and malware. I would stay far away from it. The XInput Wrapper works flawlessly and is clean.

I use a good old Logitech cordless rumblepad 2 since late 2008, beats the shit out of a 360 gamepad, imo.

Consoles? I have a Mega Drive 2/Genesis buried somewhere and a "borrowed" gameboy and NES (they were "borrowed" from me a while back).
