Help w/ Xbox One Pad Options?

[Johnny Based Cage]

I've come to grips with the fact that the PDP MKX pad is hot steaming donkey shit, so I need some opinions from people who have experience with some of my alternative options for an xBone pad, please.

1st:

First up, anyone have or use a Hori Horipad, and if so how is it for fighters and fighters alone? Seems like the easiest and cheapest route but I need to know how good the dpad is compared to the baby-hands dpad on the PDP MKX wanker pad.


2nd:

Second option: I've already got another one of these coming for USF4 on my 360 and I actually really like these pads despite their shortcomings, so the question becomes is it worth getting a converter and if so, which?

3rd:

If I'm going to get a converter should I just go all out and get this pad too? Can I get one converter that allows me to use both 360 and/or PS4 pads on my xBone or would I need a different one for each? Not familiar with converters.

If anyone with any familiarity or knowledge of the limited options we have on xBox One would like to chime in I'd really appreciate it.

@Juggs maybe?

Options 2 & 3 can possibly be dual modded by @gummo

Option 1 has to be decent at least. Maybe check local game stores to see what they might have used so you can hold them etc.

I did mention in the other thread that the dpad for option one is not very good. I know a lot of people used the Hori Gem pad and the Gem pad is a pretty good pad. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of this one.

I appreciate the heads up, Icepick! Have you gotten your hands on a Hori Fighting Commander 4 yet? It's really looking like a converter might be necessary at this point.

That's what I use on the PS4. It's a really good pad.

So is there no reliable way to use a PS2/3/4 pad on a XB1?

@Nori Batousai
The DIY convertors using Undamned's USB decoder will allow you to use ps3 and xbox 360 controllers on xbox one. It will also let you use the Hori fight commander 4 in ps3 mode on your xbox one. I made a thread about it along with a video: http://testyourmight.com/threads/diy-converters-to-use-ps3-and-360-controllers-on-ps4-or-xb1.48521/

I wonder why hori doesn't make the hori 4 for the Xbox one?????

OPTION 1 IS NOOOOOO!!!

I use that exact same pad and it's only SLIGHTLY better than the regular X1 pad because the triggers aren't as sensitive and the bumpers aren't as hard to press. But the pad is ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE. You will frequently get jumps when you try to press Back or Forward and the face buttons' paint wears off fast. I've had this pad since a week after MKX came out so let's say about 3 weeks now and this is how it looks like:

I also wear gloves when I play so it's not due to grease.

Do what I did and order it from arcadeshock.com. They're in the US and keep them in stock, so shipping's pretty reasonable and quick.

Dude I would be in heaven if I could use my brawlpad for MKX. Do you know how much it would cost?

 

[GI_SUPERIOR_GOON]

I have the hori commander 4 and it works great. Next step is a converter

You should PM @gummo

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

You should PM @gummo

Thanks for all the input, everyone. Especially that warning, @Fraud Blank. I think I'll PM Gummo and/or consider just getting a Cronusmax (I don't travel for tournies anyway really so it being banned isn't a total deal breaker). Either way, can't wait to use my Brawlpad and possibly get a FC4 too. That xBone struggle!
