what about the officially licensed pro controllers or the mini ones?
I have the Hori Real Pro and Mini Arcade Stick. Perfect for fighting games. The mini tends to slide around though. I only recommend that for casual play. The Real Pro if you intend on taking your game further, like online matches.
I will give a shoutout to the Razer Raiju controller. Been using it for about a year and a half and it's a cracking controller for shooters.
I have the Platinum Wireless Headset and can attest that it's a great-sounding piece of kit. It's actually my second one; the first one started to malfunction and I got it exchanged for a fresh unit... this one has been holding up fine so far.
Now if only more games supported the 3D audio feature...
I use the platinum headset. It gets flaky when pairing at first with the dongle but once it's on its the nuts. 3d audio is boss!
Apart from that the Nacon Revolution controller is a huge step up over the dual shock 4. Especially for shooters. The d pad isn't amazing but the paddles are a big plus and the sticks are really nice.
Don't need another but I do really like the look of the midnight blue DualShock 4.
The best headphones option if you spending £250 is the Steel Series Arctic pro with Game Dac. The dac makes a huge difference to sound, retractable microphone with one of the best mics in the market. Worth every penny.
Anyone recommend any joysticks for flight/space games? Slightly shamed to admit it but think straighter assault on bf2 would be amazing with one!
I always wanted to try an arcade stick for fighting games.
I have the Venom Official Sony PlayStation Licensed 8-Button Arcade Stick. My first arcade stick, into gaming PS3/PS4 wise, and must say, it's pretty awesome for fighting games and retro side scroller/beat em' up's etc... Bought mine 3 years ago and still a very enjoyable gaming session every time. Worth 70 quid of anyone's money, I'm happy to own one, being a fan of the fighting/beat em up genre.
I've had my eye on a Hori Pro for some time. I'm too content with using a pad for Tekken, but I don't think a stick would hurt when I finally get back into Street Fighter and Guilty Gear.
The Controller People will customize the Dualshock PS4 controller with bottom triggers you can map and trigger stops and a lot of other cool stuff, colors, etc. You can even send them your own controller and let them do the work for you. They are really great controllers and a good company! In the UK, but they will ship to US as well. I love mine.
the black steel ds4 looks even better in the flesh brought one today
picked up the midnight blue controller as I've been meaning to get a new one for ages and that one is v. nice looking and it has the light bar on the front, cool
I also grabbed the Venom arcade stick. Cheers guys I thought those arcade sticks were far dearer than that so didn't go looking. SFV is gonna kick a55 now
Dont forget the EZMAX for DJ MAX - that is amazing if you are one of a handful of ppl in the west who play that game. 300USD - well worth it.
your price is wrong the steel back ds4 is £51 on Amazon .....£47 from Argos
'Best' wheels. That title appears to be quite misleading.
"The best PS4 racing wheels"
One decent wheel and two utter garbage wheels you mean?
@gruf69 Its all about driving Amazon referral money. Hence why they only ever link to Amazon items.
