Do controllers matter?

[Palestinian Child Soldier]

I currently have a Xbox Spectra Infinity. If anyone uses it or used it before is it good for MK11? Cause sometimes when im playing on a DPAD i press left or right and the bottom or the top trigger aswell and it ♥♥♥♥♥ up my combos. Also i would love recomendations on better controllers.

I'm currently using a PS4 controller, used to use an Xbox controller but I busted the dpad on it. The dpad on Xbox controller I find is not very durable, or maybe it's just me. I dunno my own strength, might end up busting the dpad on my PS4 controller too, but at the moment seems more durable than the Xbox dpad.

I don't have any specific recommendations; however, MK11 is designed for an XBox and /or Playstation style controller (ie, 4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons, and analog sticks, plus dpad.)

In the Krypt mode, both analog sticks are used like a 3rd person game and it's annoying to navigate without them which wouldn't be a problem, but there's a lot of crap in the Krypt.
A LOT of crap. It takes way too long to unlock everything in the Krypt, and with traps and giant spiders that can kill you in some places ... it sucks not having both analog sticks.

In the game proper, Fatal Blows are performed by squeezing both Triggers (or L2 & R2 on PS). Amplify and block are both shoulder buttons so you can hover a finger ready to press down at any time while the face buttons are attacks. It feels very natural and intuitive and feels off on anything else.

You could make do and make it work with other styles of controllers and even get good. But like I said, MK feels like it was meant to be played with either Playstation or XBox-style controller, so I wouldn't veer too far away from that.

I play on keyboard but the answer will always be the option you feel most comfortable

Yeah i think so aswell. I think im going to buy a PS5 controller. That needs to be a VERY GOOD controller since the console came out 2 years ago.

no it doesnt matter. Everyone has their preference. I personally use the xbox one controller. Some people use joysticks, ps4p/ps5, hitboxes and some primarily use a keyboard and play well with that.
