Controller /D-pad

[vic1ous92]

Hey folks!

I have a question about controllers. I play MK on PS4 and every few seconds i have to 'unsweat' my thumb that controlls the d-pad. I dont sweat that much but i cannot type the commands right. So my question is, do you use anything on your controller that your thumb dont slid off the dpad?

I use a Brook converter and an Xbox One pad because it wasn't build by blind 5 year olds in a basement.

I don't always have this issue but I have a habit of wiping my hands on my pants every round. It's more nerves for me, but it helps with slippery fingers to.

I find that I have the opposite issue. I have very sweaty hands, but after a couple games my thumb sticks to the d pad like glue. It got to the point where I have to put a very thin coating of crazy glue on my thumb to stop the sweat from coming through.

Relax. Play for fun. But yea I just wipe my thumb on my pants or shirt whenever they get sweaty.

I saw limbodawg on a stream using like a thumb sock

I see ppl out there shirts over there pad and play but you try maybe those aftermarket grips perhaps they have something tailored to sweaty hands but I use xb1 pad and converter

How do they work, do you just unbox them plug em in and ready to go?

In the same boat, my thumbs get sticky, and after a while it is hard to even do bf4, instead f4 come out, what I do is put the controller down for a few minutes and all is fine, do you have any remidies that work besides acc glue

I wish man. I really do. I only do it if I know I'm gonna play for a while. Because after a while using the d pad the thin layer wears out and can easily be washed off.

I wonder if I should use my Hori FC or my standard PS4 controller for Injustice 2. I need a 6 button for Street Fighter but considering there's only 4 face buttons in Injustice and I think I prefer the PS4 pad's larger dpad maybe I should switch back...

Sorry, that was kinda off-topic but dpads always seem to be my biggest issue with otherwise good fightpads. They're always too damn small. I slip off the Hori FC's too.

I use a ps3 pad + brook converter which feels quite smaller which I prefer. I did buy those dual shock 4 grip pads but it made it feel even clunkier. Now if I try to play with a ds4 it feels so goofy. Sony did a shit job with the design if you ask me. Get an adapter, and for long sessions I typically grab a norwax cloth and keep it damp. To each their own

Pretty much. If an update for PS4 messes the configuration up, the supply and update which is really easy to download and apply

Usually, before the match I tend to go wash my hands with shampoo. Helps with the dryness of the hands. Try this out and see if it helps you, too. I play with PS4 D-pad.

I'm thinking about it too, sick of dropping back-forward motions on PS4. Do you know how much the converter + XB1 pad go for?

How is the input delay on the brook converters? Any dropped inputs?

Not that I've noticed. I play wired 100 % of the time, just so there's no kind of wireless interference.

 

[Thefish]

Another question on the brooks. It's says wired controller, that just means I get a wireless xbox controller and use the charger cable to plug it up aye?
