  Tbf the one time I had to launch edge on someone else’s pc it just prompted me to mane an account with no way to close out of the window, so not much better there x3

  Which is to say… the firefox usb stick is a real life saver either way when needing to touch windows

  I haven’t used windows in ages so no IE/edge, but honestly I’d take internet explorer I think x3

  Yes and no. Depends on how you define it

  You interact with others digitally on here, which makes it social, but some would argue that it’s a forum aggregate which isn’t a true social media, since it’s moreso used for discussion or support, rather than posting about personal affairs

  Less inputs than a ds4 x3… not having a right stick and a d-pad is pretty sucky

  I did look into them at one point tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the lack of gyro gets me way less than the lack of a touchpad

  Tbh I rarely use it myself but i only play pc games at my desk so I can always use my mouse.

  Tbh I don’t really use it for a mouse-like input, for me it’s mostly for rebinding a bunch of rarer used inputs via steam input (via radial menus and the like), which is useful for games with a lot of buttons like modded minecraft (I have things like opening additional magic menus, adjusting jetpack speed, etc.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Touchpad :3. I mentioned that earlier in regards to 8bitdo controllers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yeah :3. It’s lacking some of the features that are dealbreakers for me, but the extra bumpers are interesting ^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which one? They’ve mentioned a bunch at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah can’t say any of that has ever been an issue for me lol x3

  The only thing I’d really want from a new controller is more inputs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also only use it wired lol :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I saw from 8bitdo none of them have a touchbar which is a deal breaker for me. The fantech one seems to not be missing any inputs at least, but also all it offers in addition is 2 paddles… and I guess hall effect, which I don’t particularly care about. So… it’s just 2 extra inputs, which I guess is fine ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I’d rather have something from a brand I’ve heard from not something from aliexpress tho x3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True that x3… I bought a 3 meter micro usb cable specifically for it recently lol, those have not lasted me as long as the controller. Having a usb C would be nice tho, since when it inevitably breaks again I’d be able to temporarily use any of the other cables I have on hand :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ as long as this one works, im not in a big rush to swap it out to something that’d give me the same or worse experience anyway :3… if im gonna spend any kind of money it’s be for additional features lol… or if this one breaks, in which case I can pick up another ds4 or a dualsense.

  I don’t really care about saving 10 bucks on something I use daily, so I’d take something I know will last me another decade rather than the third party controllers which looking up usually leads to numerous threads of them breaking x3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was looking for replacement controllers the best I found was basically ones that have the same as what the ds4 already offers, or maybe an addition of paddles for more than the price of a dualsense pro lol

  If I buy a controller now I’d like it to be something like those steam controller 2 leaks we had a while back honestly, a 2nd touchpad, touch capacitive sticks, and paddles (plus keeping gyro, cause for some reason many controllers don’t have that still lol)… that’d be enough additional buttons for me to consider upgrading

  Which is to say hopefully valve time is quicker than the breaking down of my ds4… (if it was SC3 it’d never come so at least it’s only 2 /j)

  You can see how shredded my left stick is at this point lol. It’s basically hard plastic. Though I had this controller for… 9 or 8 years?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I’ve not thought about that specific feature, but I have noticed that 3rd party controllers, even the ones that charge “pro” controller prices, rarely offer more features than a base first party controller, and sometimes even have missing features

  It’s a rather strange phenomenon which caused me to not upgrade from my beat up dualshock 4 lol

  Mm science :3 I prefer to think of a meter as roughly 2 light nanoseconds

  I love the fact that imperial is legally defined in it’s relation to metric btw :3. Like the US uses metric they just have to abstract it for some reason

  “What is this commie ‘meter’? Give me measurements in the feet of the dead monarch whom my ancestors rebelled against!” Or something like that :3
