I want a different pro controller. Giving me 3 completely different things is not really choice when there is only one version of each thing to "choose" from. I have a perfectly fine PS4 controller that has the same buttons and apparently uses the same drivers. Why can't I use it? It's just funny that both Pro Controller and Dualshock 4 work natively with PC but not on the other console. There is no technological reason for it. It's just that the platform holders don't want you to have that choice. It doesn't even work for controllers of the same brand. It's just that desperate need of absolute control of the platform owners. I don't think this complaint is silly just because "it has always been this way". With that attitude nothing ever will change. As a famous person once said: "More options is never a bad thing" -onionberry |
well I understand what you're saying, and would be great for consumers but this is a capitalism "stuff" and not a console "stuff"
would be great to use the wii u pro controller instead of the more expensive switch pro controller but then that would affect sales of the switch pro controller, same situation with the other two consoles and that's why you can't use the 360 controller on the xbox one even if they are technically the same thing. You can use the wii mote on the wii u cause there's not a "Wii u mote" but if that was the case then would be the same situation.
PC is an open platform and that's why almost anything is possible, very different than consoles which are produced with a certain business structure.
