I know Mad Catz became slightly more respected for their fighting game sticks, but what about third-party controllers overall? Seems like they became significantly less popular in 7th gen apart from maybe on the Wii.

Hows the quality? I love the SNES design one but is it worth the price if I already have the pro controller?

I'm using Logitech f310 on Tekken tag 2 and its dpad absolutely blows every playstation dpad out (I haven't used ds5 yet but I'd imagine its not as far from ds4). The triggers are pretty stiff tho luckily you can easily replace it to soften them up.

I always just use the first-party stuff nowadays, so I'm not familiar with the current state of third-party hardware.

I do remember MadCatz controllers being worth less than the plastic that went into them the last time I used one. I'm just glad I never had a memory corruption issue with their memory cards.

No, I mean it seems like that after the 6th gen you didn't hear them get shit on quite as much and I recall that they got some praise for their fight sticks.

I always hear good things about the 8bitdo controller. And I personally love my PowerA Xbox controller. Outside of those brands though, I don't know. Always hated MadCatz, so I've not spent any money on them lol.

I have one for the Switch that I got for Christmas. The controller is fine, probably not as good as an official Nintendo one but it's alright...except for one strange problem.

The controller will randomly shake and turn my Switch on sometimes if it's plugged in. Once I was playing a PS4 game and it the controller forced the Switch on. This was in the middle of a fight so I got hurt in the game. I pressed the Home button on my PS4 to avoid dying but the damage was done.

I don't know why it does this. I thought it might be doing this when it's fully charged but I'm not sure.

If that's true...it probably doesn't help that the PS4 game I was playing was Fatal Frame (if you don't know what that is it's a horror game where you fight ghosts with a camera).

Man if one of my unrelated controllers started vibrating and turned a console on while I was playing a horror game I'd freak out <_<
