I am so done with the lack of controller support on EGS
I am so done with the lack of controller support on EGS
I use a PS5 controller, it's 2024, this stuff should just work now. I shouldn't have to experiment with different combinations of ds4windows, hidhide, launching through Steam and quitting Steam from running altogether just to get it to work. Cyberpunk manages just fine, so why do I have to jump through a million hoops for literally everything else? While I'm complaining, Steam is only marginally better at this.

I went through like a half a dozen of those things, the cables just kept breaking.

IIRC the initial run of Xbone controllers didn't even have Bluetooth but used some proprietary signal like the 360 controllers. Oh, Microsoft
The Xbox One and the new Xbox controllers look nice, but I ended up going with a DS4 for my replacement for the extra features despite much preferring the Xbox layout and ergonomics.
I had a friend whose Xbox One controller died after a couple of years and they had to get a Series whatever replacement recently. On top of the half a dozen wired 360 controllers I went through a similar amount of wireless ones during the lifespan of my 360 since different buttons just broke. Definitely had some bad experiences with longevity on Xbox controllers

Lol I have the opposite complaint, I scored one of the 360 dongles for free back in the day and my mobo doesn't have bluetooth.
I'd love to get one of those dongles, but the only places you can find them now is buying used or taking a gamble on a generic one from AliExpress. I had a couple of cool special edition Xbox 360 controllers that I could theoretically make work again if I got some replacement parts also from AliExpress
You can get a bluetooth usb radio. They work perfectly fine as long as your USB bus isn't being used by a bunch of other things at the same time.
i have 2 of those controllers. the worst part is the dongle to connect those to my pc was 30 bucks and the size of one of those amazon fire sticks, blocking all the usb ports next to it and sticking out a solid 4 inches. didn't work half the fucking time either.
You can get 360 style controllers with hall effect sensors for around the same price.
