If I relied solely on Steam Big Picture Mode, I'd use the Steam route for sure. But I use Launchbox for the Big Picture Mode themes, so I route everything through that directly; and having to go through Launchbox to go through Steam would be far too much work, lol.
Dude, get off of Windows 7. Windows 10 makes everything easier controller wise. Shit, Windows 8 made everything easier controller wise.
Sure, the Logitech f710 (and its wired equivalents, the f510/f310) is a borderline classic.
Even has a few functions that you wont even find on any xbox controller. such as the ability to swap the D-pad and left stick input on the fly, which i personally at-least find really useful in some games. Way cheaper too without any loss of quality.
And yes, it fully supports X-input.
If you're willing to take the time to set it up properly. It can be a little tedious.
If you can find one, on amazon they are price gouged to kingdom come. I'm sure Valve still sell it on steam maybe, also you may want to include an extended warranty. To get used to the touch pad, just play a 3d game with a open area, something that may need you to aim and give you a lot of freedom to do simple to detailed things. I used Saints Row 4. Adjusting sensitivity is a important function because it molds the controller around your comfort, and there are a ton of adjustable functions with the Steam Controller + Steam Input.
Steam supports the Dualshock 4 and Dualshock 3. Xbox controllers work right out the box. And, my fave:
GameStop sells pre-owned ones for $35. I had one for a bit to try it, and aside from coming without its packaging it was like new.
Yeah, I found that, and have only been using USB thus far (I didn't need wi-fi for where this PC is.) Yet it didn't seem to fix the remote play issue where it won't go past the PS button press. I'm probably the only person on earth having this issue, tbh. But I really agree that games should just let you pick the prompts, considering how my brain defaults to those or Nintendo layout long before Xbox layout (which is also making Jedi real fun since it is reading it as an Xbox controller)
I always wondered how people struggled with this. I could play three games in a row on all three controllers and not have an issue with the face buttons. I have more of an issue going from game to game in the same genre than I do with hopping between controllers.
Oh wow, I might have to check that out. Thanks for the info. I can at least get replacement parts out of it. My Y button's membrane sticks down for a bit and pops back up (no trash or liquids, the membrane is just messed up, likely from hitting Y a certain amount of times).
It's really neat as a replacement for a traditional controller, and it does enable a whole lot of games that previously weren't controller-compatible to be played with a controller. Gyro can be mapped to mouse, so when playing shooters that support simultaneous mouse and controller input, you can get precise with your aim, and can even designate a button (like left trigger) which activates gyro when held, and deactivates gyro when not held.
This is what I use too. I also got the cell phone clip and use Steam streaming for some hand held PC gaming in bed. It's the best.as someone who hates the Xbox One controller (the LB and RB buttons feel horrible to me), I've been finding the 8 Bit Do SN30+ Pro controller to be incredible
If you don't like centered analog sticks though I could see it being frustrating, but I've used it for everything from Forza to The Outer Worlds and can't complain.
Yeah, there's a fix that works temporarily by overwriting the drivers, but it resets itself on every restart. I wish it would work, though, because XB1 controller is the easiest way.
I have an F710. It's really great, surprisingly. Only problem is I broke a bumper but i managed to get the plastic to stay in the right place, so it still works mostly fine. Anyway, you're right on the grips, slightly cramped for longer fingers/big hands, but it works.
Haha, no joke. Xbox Elite. I sprang for it. Because I'd pay $80 for a good mouse or keyboard. Why not a controller.
