This is a gamepad for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users with Android phones. If you stand at that intersection, it's a great controller for playing Xbox games on your phone. Otherwise, it's not a very flexible controller. The original Xbox One Wireless Controller was a staple for PC gaming. With the release of the Xbox Series S/X, we were all curious to see how Xbox improved on an already outstanding gamepad. This is a wired controller only, which is in my view totally fine for PC play but less suitable for gaming on the sofa. The cable is at least relatively soft and flexible, unlike some other controllers I've tried recently. Finally, Victrix boasts of a dual-core design that delegates input and audio to separate cores, reducing input latency, but I don't have the means to test this and the controller didn't feel noticeably better or worse than alternative options. I think there's enough here to justify the asking price! There are also options to change the D-pad, button facades, as well as the styling of both the bumpers and the triggers. Interestingly, there is also the option to remove the rumble motors from inside the controller which is something you'll often find the pros end up removing from their tournament controllers, to cut down on the inherent distraction of hand-wobble. Is the PowerA Spectra an Xbox controller in all ways but the name? Pretty much. It's not completely identical to Xbox's offering, it's certainly a cheaper version of it.

Why We Picked It

Virgin Media O2 created Gamepad with the ambition to make gaming even more inclusive and accessible. Not only is the space fully step-free and wheelchair-friendly throughout, the lighting can be adapted to meet a variety of sensory needs and the space will continue to be developed and enhanced to ensure it is inclusive and enjoyable for all. Another key tenet behind Gamepad is the desire to use the space to support the next generation of talent by giving them the opportunity to use professional-level facilities that will help them take their gaming to the next level. The Scuf Instinct Pro requires AA batteries, like standard Xbox pads, unlike the Elite which houses a lithium ion battery. The ability to swap in a fresh pair of batteries mid-tournament is potentially a selling point, and lithium ion batteries are meant to have a finite shelf life. Though it's not something I've ever experienced with my Elite pad in the past few years of use. The only minor inconvenience is that you need to install third-party software to get the controller working on Windows. Thankfully, software including DualSenseX and DS4Windows are free, easy to use and offer options not found on Xbox Accessories app. You can also use Steam's Big Picture mode, which supports the DualSense natively, for both Steam and non-Steam games. Once you have set up and configured your gamepad controls in Roblox, it’s time to put them to the test. Testing the gamepad controls will allow you to ensure that everything is working correctly and that you can navigate and play the game smoothly with your gamepad.

We capitalize "Wireless" for a reason—not because the word is a proper noun per se, but because the Xbox Wireless controller leverages Microsoft's wireless protocol called "Xbox Wireless." Though the name could benefit from some creative refinement, you can find comfort in the fact that, since 2016, the Xbox Wireless controller offers much-needed Bluetooth compatibility as well. Yes, you can! Roblox offers support for gamepad controls, allowing you to play your favorite games using a gamepad instead of a keyboard and mouse. This can enhance your gaming experience, especially for games that are better suited for gamepad controls. index: An integer that is unique for each gamepad currently connected to the system. This can be used to distinguish multiple controllers. Note that disconnecting a device and then connecting a new device may reuse the previous index. Typically, value is associated with use. The reason we recommend the more expensive Xbox controller as the best overall is that for extended use, it's great value for money. If you don't see yourself using a controller much for your PC gaming, but want to have one for those rare times you need one, it's worth considering the Spectra instead. The controller is wired, so there's no extra fuss about finding a spare wire or setting up a wireless connection.Gamepads or devices closely modelled on them are sometimes used for controlling real machinery and vehicles, as they are familiar to users and (in the case of actual gamepads) provide an off-the-shelf solution. The US Army and US Navy both use Xbox controllers [14] for operating devices, and the British Army uses a device modelled on gamepads to operate systems on the Challenger 2 main battle tank. [15] The ill-fated Titan submersible used a gamepad for control. [16] See also [ edit ] The value property is a floating point value used to enable representing analog buttons, such as the triggers on many modern gamepads. The values are normalized to the range 0.0..1.0, with 0.0 representing a button that is not pressed, and 1.0 representing a button that is fully pressed. Play the game for a while using the gamepad controls to see if they feel comfortable and intuitive. Make any necessary adjustments to the control settings in Roblox if you encounter any difficulties or if the controls feel awkward.
