    The clicky triggers are supposed to function like mouse clicks for faster input. Many shooters actually benefit from this with bumper controls because they have less delay from when you press to thr action occuring.
    Xbox has also used this style since the Xbox One came out and mosf third party controllers are heavily based Xbox controllers. Plus the Switch joycons themselves also has clicky bumpers but also has clicky triggers.

  • @Marko-ij4vy

    Honestly this is how they could actually revisit the wii u gamepad functionality. Have controller with its own small touchscreen but still be size and shape of regular controller isntead of a bulky tablet. The second screen on gamepad shouldnt be forced gimmick but rather for optional quality of life settings. For example in zelda wind waker for wii u you could instantly swap inventory items on the touch screen on wii u gamepad without having to go to pause menu. These type of quality of life settings becoming a norm would be nice.

      But I have a
      Wireless GameCube controller
      Wireless Xbox controller
      Wireless n64 controller
      All for pc emulation and windows with controllers are bloody awful
      All my emulators work perfect but pc games with the Xbox controller because I have all the Dongles in at all times it makes the GameCube controller primary so I have to unplug it
      I do have some fixes but the moral of the story
      1 controller for all is way easier than multiple

    So before the PS5 came out, and before we even know the controller was called the "DualSense" and we were still expecting it to be called "DualShock 5". We saw that Sony patented a controller similar in shape to the DualSense now, but instead of a touchpad (which has been nothing more than an oversized select button at this point) it had a full color touch screen. I feel like this is just getting out ahead of the competition as screens on our controllers as a standard feature, is where we're headed in the near future (PS6 DualSense 2 perhaps).

    I feel like it must be possible for the manufacturer to set this up so PCs can recognise the screen as a second display. I have no idea what anyone would want that for (aside from maybe emulators), however it would instantly increase its coolness by at least 100%

  • @njnjco
    @njnjco Před 14 dny

    A controller with little tiny screens on the face buttons would be cool. You could change the settings on the controller to Nintendo, Xbox, or Play Station mode and the glyphs would automatically change to match, so you could hand it to someone unfamiliar with that console and they could look at the controller and know what button to press. That and you could make custom glyphs for the buttons. Kinda like an Elgato Stream Deck (Not to be confused with the Valve Steam Deck). I hate that moment of hesitation when switching between Nintendo and Xbox style controllers where the buttons are inverted, especially when emulating Nintendo games using an xbox style controller. This would solve a bit of that confusion when your brain gets turned around.

    The 1.1.0 update of Super Mario 3D All-Stars supposedly added support for GameCube controllers in the Super Mario Sunshine port, including support for the analog triggers. But it seems to me that this port still only recognizes soft press and hard press of the trigger, not the entire range of pressure in-between.
