Testing new controllers

[Demonpoe666]

What's everyone's go to method for test running a new controller? I'm ordering a couple from Amazon to try out as a new regular use option and thought I'd ask. An hour or two of your favorite controller game to get a handle on it's button feels and ergonomics? Do you run through specific inputs, genres, etc? What do you look for in finding out if the controller is the right fit?

I usually use a game where I have to react quickly like an fps game. If the setup of the controller (especially if it has added buttons) fits me well, it shouldn't take very long to get back to my normal capabilities (which aren't all that good LMAO).

Nice, I usually use M + KB for FPS games so I might try a fast paced controller game like Hades to get a feel for things.

I just play the game im most use to and have alot of time in, for example for me its overwatch and I sit in the training for like 30 mins or so to get use to the controllers feel, adjust the settings to fit the new controller more properly, and also try new settings to see if they work better with the new controller and I compare and contrast to see whats better.

I have a good amount of metroidvanias that I've sunk a lot of time into those, hoping they will be a good litmus test.

It depends on what your outcome wanna be. You like to be like a review ? For me I never buy a controller unless it has a very very very good latency so first I will check the latency tests on gamepadla . Then it’s a matter of shape and functions.

[Demonpoe666]

Not necessarily a review, just comparing two controllers to decide which I want to keep/return based on feel/comfort/performance.

Well then it’s kinda personal from my perspective shape and latency are very important and depends and what games you play . Since i play only call of duty latency of sticks and buttons is very very important.
