What is the best controller for this game?

[Uncle Jon]

Do people recommend using a normal gamepad like the dualshock 4 controller or is using the keyboard just fine?

[Kizupii]

you can use dualshock controller and keyboard, but for SC difficulty the note pattern designed for keyboard. I usually use keyboard most the time than dualshock controller because its less painfull. When you use joystick/dualshock your thumb need to press lot of buttons.

i play many other games with pad but djmax... keyboard only

dualshock is better than xbox,
button and cross spacing is better than xbox.
but nothing beats EZMAX

I came from PSP DJMAX titles, so Dualshock all the way, can't understand how to play this on the keyboard, lol.

Same here. I played the classic DJMax titles on PSP when I was a kid. I have DJMax Respect on PS4, but since its dead there, I decided to purchase the game on Steam to use with a DualShock Controller.

Do you know if this version on PC contains all the classic patterns designed for Controller, as well as Keyboard, or the patterns are designed for Keyboard?

Because if they are designed for Keyboard, I would probably try to get a refund. I can't play this game on Keyboard. All the hours I spent playing this was on PSP/Controller, which is why I had tremendous problems with Trilogy on PC.

it's exactly the same patterns. absolutely no difference. (a little easy money for neowiz who recycles music and pattern from the start ... in short.)

ps: oops, I misunderstood, I was speaking for DjMaxPortable music to respectV.

otherwise all music has a joypad or keyboard playable pattern, no problem.

Nice :D Thank you for the confirmation. I played a couple of tracks and it is quite responsive, I must say. I even played the same track on PlayStation and on PC, and I did much better on PC somehow. The game is much more responsive on 120hz monitor. Feels kind of clunky on my 60hz PC. Not sure if the refresh rate is the reason, or something they did.

How come the PlayStation version is so lacking though? It doesn't have several tracks from the PC Version, and Arcade Mode is missing on PC which kind of bummed me out.

I used to play Arcade Mode on the PSP all the time. Sad to see it's no longer available/replaced with this Air Mode. Hope they bring it back.

I also noticed that some tracks do not have sound effects/notes when you press a button. This is the second fact that made me a bit sad. Hope they bring back those features in the future, if development is still ongoing.

Otherwise, yeah, pretty much I am crippled on Keyboard, so it's awesome to hear that the patterns are the same as the PlayStation versions, and that there is a difficulty designed just for keyboards. Win/Win here.
