Controller players — what are your thoughts on different controllers for XIV?
So SE released a statement on the Lodestone today because 7.1 effectively broke Bluetooth use for DualShock 4s on WIndows. They're going to fix it (or rather, "allow the use of the controller in the same environment as before Patch 7.1"), but they also basically said that you shouldn't be using a DualShock 4 on PC.
I use a DualShock 4 on PC! I also have a decent amount of experience using a DualSense with XIV, but I prefer the DualShock 4 because of its trigger design. I don't know if console vs. PC makes a difference, but at least on PC, the different designs mean different actuation, and IMO the fancier triggers make it more difficult to quickly double-tap L2 and R2, thereby making it more difficult to use the WXHB. Heck, ideally I'd rather have no triggers at all, just regular buttons for L2 and R2!
It's weird to me that for all I've heard about many hardcore raiders being controller players, I've never seen a discussion about the hardware. Differences in actuation ought to be a big deal in high-end play, right? I'm not a high-end player, but I feel a significant difference, so I'd like to hear other people's opinions. Are there other areas besides the triggers where you prefer one controller over another?
