How does the analog sticks feel? The texture of the rubbers look different.

Tee hee!  Thanks, everyone needs to go 'full geek' every now and then. "...Perovskite feed back loupe form a whine intense tachyon."

I am looking forward to what others think of the new feedback triggers.  I know a few will say it's 'too much' (like chocolate fudge is 'too much' on vanilla ice cream.)  But I think most everyone will never want to go back to the old ways.

They feel great - yes it is different, a bit softer.  As I said, sort of like the giant tires in a Lego car set.

A little squishy feel, but not being squishy itself.  Just a better grip.

Wilco - it's just a refinement.  It still felt very familiar.  Don’t panick yet, I think you will be happy.  They feel familiar – like when you were away from your significant other and you hug and just fit together and it feels like it’s supposed to be that way.

I haven't played on a PS4 controller, but when I play on my friends PS3's controllers, I don't like the vague feel of the front buttons and the squishiness of the thumb sticks.  I come home and tell my 360 controllers how my I appreciate them and sorry for yelling at them about me getting killed the other day.

Wow, you didn't bother to read any of the thread!  If you want to hate on Microsoft - just do it in another thread.  It is making you look pathetic.

I'm not interested in your whining and if you bothered to read it you would see myself and others are happy about the batteries. Microsoft doesn't make any money off my batteries, but they keep me happy as I can used the ones I have.

And not some lame built in Sony product that goes bad after a few years, and you have to throw out the controller and buy a new one.

Have a good day, just somewhere else please.

Why would I read the whole thread? I read the OP and that part wasn't discussed and to me its the most important part as I've yet to truly hate the usage/feel of MSony dual analog controllers. I didnt' like Wii's classics... but the pro on WiiU is awesome.

So to me the only part that sucks or rather that I actualy notice is the lack of a built-in battery.

Maybe you're good with having to find your own rechargeable solution, however, I think in 2013 it should be fucking standard to have quality built-in batteries. The only reason to exclude is to push a microtransaction on the consumer for something nearly everyone will buy.

Also, if your battery goes bad in a  Sony or Nintendo or Apple or Google or (every other electronics company out there) product, you can replace it. You don't have to buy a new controller. Additionally, its not a guranteed cost as I've yet to have one go bad. But in your case you are guranteed to have to buy batteries.

Instead of sheepishly defending the practice, maybe you should ask them to join the modern world.

I completely disagree with you about that.  As have several others on this thread. 

I don't want to have to connect my controller up with my console because the built in battery is running low.

I don't want an extra cable coming out of the front of my console- or any cables other than the ones behind connect to the system.

I don’t want to have to connect my controllers so my friends and I can play together tomorrow.

I don’t want to have that ‘one controller’ that doesn’t hold a charge.

 I don’t want to remember every night to connect the controller to the console with some wire that people trip on and the bunny chew through.

 And many of the systems you are referring to you CAN NOT replace your batteries.  You have junk it, and get an entire new one. So if you want to site a company ripping people off my making self limiting machine, I think you know which one I mean.

 “Join the Modern World.”  Oh, golly is that supposed to be some kind of insult?

 How about you just stay off my threads if you don’t have anything worthwhile to say, and just want to whine about a certain company.  There are other forums for that.

Really, just go away, you used to be really funny, but those days seem over.
