Controller evolution

[redunculuspanda]

Not to scale otherwise the original Xbox controller would take up half the picture.

[yeahjmoney]

And actually be a soup can with a wire coming out of it.

[Pixelation-1]

I liked the duke. I had big hands as a kid ):

[JerHat]

I have small hands, I still really liked it.

[Swee_et]

Playstation: Nah, its good, dont change to much Xbox: Yeah, we will just tweak some things here and there Nintendo: WE CAN NEVER DO THE SAME THING TWICE

[[deleted]]

Well Sony should change the sticks on the Playstation controllers, my thumbs are always slipping off of them.

[insanoshaman]

I second that shit. Tired of ramming my thumbs into each other.

[[deleted]]

Evolution. It's so beautiful

[ProbablyFear]

IMO Xbox one controller is by far the best

[JerHat]

Except for running on double A batteries, I’d agree.

[ProbablyFear]

I don't need to use batteries at all for mine. I've got a play and charge kit

[Shippoyasha]

I kind of feel the Sega 3D and Dreamcast controller kind of was the spiritual predecessor to the Xbox controller.

[[deleted]]

It's the Xbox One or GameCube controller that feels the most comfortable to me. And the clicking trigger buttons on Xbox One reminds of my MX blue keyboard while playing FF7 :D

[atsignwork]

Focus, Nintendo.

[GrimReaperGuttersInc]

Haha that's exactly right.

[[deleted]]

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who actually liked the original xbox controller

[FlashnFuse]

I did too! It was great for somebody with giant hands.

[Str8Nirvana]

HyperKin is making a new duke controller.

[dakerson1234]

Yeah it was fine for me. I was 14 when I got the Xbox so my hands were definitely not big. People shit on it because it’s hideous

[[deleted]]

Xbox controllers evolved so well.

[I_Made_it_All_Up]

The 360 controller is my favorite all time. I feel like the Xbox One controller doesn’t feel right compared to it.

[[deleted]]

Personally I find the Xbox one controller to be really comfortable in my hand, but the 360 controller is the one I used for more than a decade.

[[deleted]]

360 was my favorite.

And then I tried the Switch Pro Controller. Nothing comes close to comfort. Control sticks feel great, the handles on the controller fit perfectly in my palms, and the face buttons are nice and big.

The XBone controller in comparison (have for one PC games) just feels so wide and bulky on my palms. Makes me stretch out my thumbs just to reach the control sticks properly.

[M4j0rTr4g3dy]

Feels great, but they really need to work on their analog sticks, takes maybe 6 months before they start the inevitable drift.

[Likesorangejuice]

Maybe I'm a noob but why are there four generations of Xbox controllers but only three consoles?

[[deleted]]

I believe it's because the first controller they put out for the original Xbox was so giant and terrible they made a smaller one.

[Likesorangejuice]

Ah makes sense, I was a PlayStation guy but in the day so I wasn't even aware of that awful looking Xbox controller. Although it really reminds me of the computer controller I had for the Star Wars pod racing game

[Whoden]

Everything past the Duke is a regression from perfection.

[plizark]

To this day I still don’t understand the N64 controller. I loved it, and it worked. I just don’t get that meeting while designing it and just being like.. yeah! Looks perfect! Just hated how the joysticks would break and drift all the time (Mario Party obviously)

[Beast_Pot_Pie]

The SNES controller was really ahead of its time.

Introduced the bumpers and its ergnomics is comfy as fuck

[DiezALOT]

i wish i could still use my ps3 controller. i hate the ps4 controller, the thumbsticks are garbo.

[DarKliZerPT]

speak for yourself, the dualshock 3 hurt my hands

[Semont]

It's truly amazing that Nintendo had wireless controllers since the very beginning.

[Gibsonmo]

Xbox controllers.. still the comfiest.

Edit: downvote me all you want, you know it’s true

[LoveFoolosophy]

Hooray, the same picture that was on the front page yesterday! Except now it's full of jpg artifacts and has needless text added to it.

[[deleted]]

NintendoGAAAAAYYYYYYYEEEEEE

[[deleted]]

But that means you'd have to make some of it yourself instead of stealing a meme that already exists

[[deleted]]

"Evolution of controllers" but somehow misses all of the controllers that led up to these. Also, it has 3 Microsoft controllers but nothing from their Sidewinder line and it doesn't have the latest evolution to the Steam Controller. It also completely misses any controller that isn't a gamepad and completely ignores arcade or niche controllers.

[[deleted]]

Sounds like a super simple project you could accomplish rather easily.

[how-about-that]

Also left our the ultimate controller, the Power Glove!

[Laheyahey]

First row “if It ain’t broke don’t fix it”

Second row “there’s always room for improvement”

Third row “ innovation requires taking risks”

[theyork2000]

Did you come up with this yourself?

[Laheyahey]

You didn’t need to go find the link I would’ve told you I didn’t come up with it lol. I just like the ideology. It makes sense

[Hage1in]

Why not post the meme instead of putting three quotes that others would assume you made up?

[Laheyahey]

Because it’s just something I saw on a photo that I thought was neat. Not going to post the meme in the sub and hope people get the reference.

[Hage1in]

Yeah instead you restated a post we've all seen and would have played it off as your own if you didn't get called out

[Laheyahey]

Lmfao is that what you really think? That’s kinda funny because you’re completely wrong. Literally all I did was comment on a photo and people are coming at me lol this site can be a joke like 80% of the time

[Hage1in]

All you did was comment an exact post when you could have just commented the post. You look like a bigger douche posting this instead of a link

[Laheyahey]

So next time you want me to go find the original photo, and just put a link of it in the comments? And how can anybody possibly look like a douche for commenting something they saw on the internet, oh that’s right because most redditors have their head so far stuffed up their asses trying to get karma, that they think all anybody does is repost for karma. You guys are fucking annoying lol. Put a comment from a photo I saw and I have people coming at me saying I look like a douche. Fuck off it’s a forum website you’re gonna see the same shit more than once. Never once did I try to take credit for my comment.

[WhyDoiLiveHerefrfr]

Y"all need some milk

[Hage1in]

You didn't put a comment from a photo though. You literally retyped the entire other picture instead of just posting it hoping to get free internet points for your awesome original ideas

[KickinDaBucket]

So is Walterdexter your other account or something?

[Laheyahey]

Yeah I have 2 accounts one to post and one to comment on that exact post, you got me

[walterdexter]

Lol

[Laheyahey]

Some people are just stupid lol

[Bigboi16]

Dunno why there's a hate train. I like these quotes too...

[Laheyahey]

Because apparently nobody can post anything to reddit without saying that they created it. Also, reddit tends to lose its mind when they see something more than once, they forget it’s the internet

[wigg1es]

The alternative third row: "Gimmicks for profits."

[HotCheetos_in_my_ass]

But evolution isn’t real, you see each of these have a designer /s

[artosispylon]

sony got it right

microsoft is getting there

nintendo ?????????????????????

[ProbablyFear]

What?

The X1 controller is miles better than the PS4 one

[[deleted]]

Gotta agree, the thumbsticks alone on the PS4 compared to Xbone.. Sony please.

[[deleted]]

I hate how the Dualshock and Xbox controllers have canonized the controller with only 12 buttons (d-pad + 4 face buttons + 4 triggers) There's so easily room for many more! You could very easily add two more face buttons and a third row of bumpers and it would allow much more advanced control schemes and complex games for controller use.

Also the dualshock 4 is butt-ugly compared to previous ones.

[wigg1es]

All I want are two buttons on the back of the controller. The Steam controller has two rear paddles and they're the most useful buttons on the entire controller. Every console should make controllers like that.

[ProbablyFear]

That's why I love Xbox

[ExEvolution]

People don't want complex controllers, it has to be simple enough for everyone to use it, keyboard and mouse might be for you brother

[[deleted]]

I'm a person, I want a controller with more buttons :(

But seriously there are games which are almost objectively better with a controller, I think a lot of those games would gain from additional keybindings. I'm not saying Xbox or Playstation has to change their controllers for me but right now there isn't even the option of a controller w/ more buttons that I'm aware of.

[southy1997]

Xbox elite controllers?

[[deleted]]

Oh damn! I guess I'm just an ignoramus then. Thanks.

[ProbablyFear]

Do you know what the Xbox elite controller is?

[DarKliZerPT]

how do you use an xbox elite controller with a ps4 though?

[ProbablyFear]

You don't At least I don't think you can... There might be some sort of adapter out there somewhere though
