Which controller is the best to play with?

[Skip]

I just bought the game and wondering which controller is best to play the game with. I don't really play platformers that much so just trying to get a opinion.

I use a SNES controller.

In my humble opinion, this game shouldn't be played with a controller at all. There is no analog movement, so the analog sticks don't help anything, and I haven't come across a modern controller with a dpad that doesn't outright suck.

Of all the dpads I know, the DS4 controller probably sucks the least, though. But still, it sucks.



Sidenote: For the love of macaroni, I've been looking for a controller with a dpad quality akin to the GBA SP/OG NDS for AGES. The only decent dpads I've ever seen. Any recommendations appreciated, thanks :(

I have two ps1 controllers with an adapter, need to test them for CB, but i played a lot of games with them on pc. Still my favorite controllers are the ps1 controllers.

Yeah I've had the PS1 and PS2, but those dpads are among the worst. Mushy and zero tactile feedback.

The GBA SP/OG NDS dpads are amazing. Not too big, not too small, requiring just the perfect amount of force. Changing directions is fast and it's virtually impossible to hit a wrong direction by accident. Great tactile and audible feedback.

Do note that the regular GBA, NDS Light, and other Gameboy dpads were awful in comparison, again with the mushiness and lack of tactile feedback.

Actually, the PSP also had a pretty decent dpad. Not quite as good as the NDS and GBA SP, but I think all it was lacking was the tactile feel. Other than that, really good.

By far the worst D-PAD of any controller I've ever used, while I like the layout and the analog sticks the D-PAD makes it worse than many other controller options by a country mile the moment you need to use it for anything.

No need for D pad when 360 controller has very good analog stick.

You can make any controller work, but I suppose I'd recommend either a PS4 or Switch Pro controller if you want to play with a dpad.

Riiiight.

Take notes people, this is why this guy has to cheat through time trials. Don't use an Xbox controller.

I'm using the PS3's Dualshock 3 on Mac (natively supported, even through Bluetooth, not just cable), playing via Nvidia GeForce Now 😍

The Xbox One controller gets the job done for me.

Xbone controller works really well. I played it through on PS4 so I have obviously used DS4 too and I would say Xbone controller works better because Xbone analog stick has better grip.

XBoxone controller, hot damn that's my jam
