BEST NINTENDO SWITCH D-PAD (...is a PS4 controller?!)

  • Nintendo Switch! Why is it so difficult to find a good controller for using Switch when docked? Until now we've had the fairly good Hori D-Pad Joycon but it only works when handheld leaving us to need a different controller when the Nintendo Switch is docked. Is it really necessary that we buy an adapter and use a PS4 controller to make up for the lack of Switch Controller options?!
    What do you think? Would you use this Hori Fighting Commander for playing platform games or fighting games? Tell me in the comments below!

    Some tips for people using these controllers:
    -On the PS4 version used in this video, use "PC" mode whenever possible. It has the lowest lag in that mode, and is actually one of the fastest pads available because of it. Avg of 1.3ms with 1000hz polling on MiSTer FPGA.
    -When playing non-fighting games or games where you would only use 2-4 buttons on the front of the controller, try using the right side 4 buttons instead of the left/inner 4. This can make moves easier and be more comfortable, depending on the size of your hand, and perhaps alleviate complications with techniques like the Mega Man dash jump demonstrated in the video @ 13:20
    Great video overall, and reflects my own personal experience with this controller vs the other options you showed, including the 8bitdo M30. The m30 is great in some games, but those non-uniform buttons on the front make it less desirable in fighting games, and the classic saturn d-pad style isn't as good for charge characters and certain moves, because of the easier-to-hit diagonals at times, I've found.
    Keep up the great content amigo. Appreciate it.
    There are so many "faux-reviews" of these controllers it's unreal. Seeing controller movement data on-screen and actual real-world performance in a variety of situations besides the common-and-lazy "I can do hadokens" that most other videos limit it to, is important. 👍

      The 6 buttons are all on pad as if it's a miniature arcade style button. Majority of gamepad has only 4 buttons and 2 on the shoulder button of the controller. Using both these 2 buttons are harder to do especially the left shoulder button. Try doing a fireball on sf with the left shoulder button. It's dam hard and uncomfortable. So majority of any pad beside Genesis and Saturn uses the 4 buttons instead.

    • @misterkeebler
      @misterkeebler 4 года назад +6

      The PowerA dpad feels better than this hori imo. It has a rolling dpad and is smoother for circular motions. The Horis are also known to not be the most durable long term. Jury is still out on PowerA since it's new.
      Downsides to PowerA are the super sensitive shoulder buttons for L and R, and the fact that its 59.99 when the hori is usually only around 40. Since you need an adapter to use the hori on switch, if you dont already own one the price probably equals out. I personally like the PowerA feel better. Both are solid buys though. If you've ever use that single hori joycon or the pokken controller, the dpad is exactly the same

    Hey Nihongo, I always wondered why you didn't consider controller converters earlier since you've been collecting so many Arcade Sticks and controllers already.
    if you're searching for a proper (native supported) DPad Controller for the Nintendo Switch, try the "Hori Pokken Tournament Pro Pad" (Wii U & Switch edition, both will work since they are internally identical). These share nearly the same DPad as the Fighting Commander (slightly mushier). Since the Pokken Pad has a 4 button layout with very large shoulder buttons, it resembles a modern SNES Controller (with comfortable handles and weirdly placed ZL and ZR buttons on the bottom, next to the right of Start and Select).
    I would also recommend the new released "Hori Split Pad Pro" as an Handheld-only JoyCon replacement. The left Pad has the exact same DPad as the Pokken Pad, the feel of the buttons (size, amount of travel) and also - which is usually the biggest reason to buy them - proper Analog Sticks with a lot more travel than the small, unreliable JoyCon Analog Sticks (which also often suffer from Stick drifting). The DPad of Pokken and Split Pad Pro feels quite a bit better than the Hori DPad JoyCon because of the bigger size and bit more tactile feel. The Fighting Commander still is Horis best DPad, I'd say.

    If it means anything, 8bitdo and Mayflash has their own adapters that not only cover PS4 controllers, not only cover more controllers from other consoles, not only cover more platforms(with the switch being the intended platform), but they also is around $20 and work beautifully.(Amazon has these controller converters)

    I have the Retro Bit Sega Saturn USB controller and I play fighting games, arcade beat em up and shoot em ups with my fingers resting on the six face buttons and I don't usually have it resting on my lap. On any Playstation style controller if I play any Tekken or any Soul Calibur, I would have my fingers resting on the face buttons. If I was playing Soul Calibur II on a Gamecube controller, then I would hold the controller in the usual manner. Guilty Gear it depends on whether I play on a Playstation or Nintendo style layout or a Sega 6 button layout. Of course on an Arcade Stick, it would be a different story. For any fighting game with a 6 button layout like Capcom fighters or Skull Girls, I would use the Sega Saturn USB controller since I have access to all the punches and kicks on the face buttons. Retro Bit does have the Bluetooth and 2.4GHz controllers which both work on the Switch but I would get the Sega Saturn version of those since the Saturn controller looks easier to hold than a Mega Driver/Genesis controller. The 2.4GHz would probably give you less lag than the Bluetooth even if it is a small amount of difference in lag, it means a lot in fighting games and could lead you to a victory with a bit less lag. BrawlerGen has a USB Genesis/Saturn controller with bigger handles, meaning you can hold it easily with one hand and one analog stick and can work on a Switch and PC.

    Here's a tip. Set the controller so that you have lp mp hp and lk mk hk on the face buttons on the pad. With this pad, you can rest it on your lap and play that way. You're pressing the buttons in much the same way you press them in the arcade. Then when you switch to an arcade stick the change isn't as jarring.

    Great video, good analysis. Could you do a review of the SN30 pro? It's a 3rd party controller from 8bitdo, d-pad on top, analog (both) on down. Looks like an upgraded Super Nintendo controller with triggers and grips. Costs 50 dollars, I'm thinking of buying one, since had analog drift from both joycon and pro controller.

I got a "MINI" Lite Controller from them and the D-PAD works perfect EXCEPT the controller itself is uncomfortable and the xyab buttons are too close together.
