Ash Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Does anyone here ever use unofficial controllers for their consoles? Or do you prefer to always use official controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin mOB Posted December 19, 2021 Admin Share Posted December 19, 2021 When I had the Play Station 4, I used always official controllers (as when I bought the console, I had one official, then I bought a second one to be able to play with my friends). Now, I sold the console along with the controllers few years ago. I'm playing FIFA 21 in computer now, and I'm using a unofficial controller, and so far so good. But to be honest, the official ones seems to be more smooth and gives a better experience. So unless you're a mess breaking controllers, I highly recommend having official ones Quote How can I use my Forum Coins in Eprotv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I have old PS2 controllers laying around that back in the day I used it on my PC :) with an adaptor, did the job but after a while I stop using it when I brought the real controller for PC based system.

I think FIFA players know a lot about raging at the game so for those that throw their controllers at the wall, they might want to stick with the unofficial ones lol. I think the official ones are even more important for the PS5 now because of the fancy features it comes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyFreak Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I've never really got an unofficial one so to speak. I always seem to have the official ones that come with the console and they last a very good while if looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of my controllers have lasted a very long time as well except for the occasional drift issue with the thumbsticks. Fortunately for me, Amazon will replace the controller within a certain period of time even after the warranty expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have had some issues with the charging port of the PS4 controller in the past but that's because when I have people over they sometimes yank it out.

Ash Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yeah, not an official policy obviously but I've never had any issues with Amazon and returning stuff after their returns period ends. Might be because I use them a lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarmer2001 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have attempted to use 3rd party controllers for my PlayStation in the past, but the times I have attempted to use these types of controllers I always experience issues. In all honesty, when I use a 3rd party controller, I've noticed that the controller coordination is off on the games I play compared with an official PlayStation controller. Getting a 3rd party controller is basically me attempting to learn the game all over again. I will continue to stick with official gaming controllers.
