@udb23 Yip. I own both. The 360 D-pad isn't as bad as the rep it gets but it's not brilliant, to be fair. The DS4 is certainly better by a significant margin. Not perfect, mind you, but definitely a vast improvement over the 360.
I really don't like giving personal recommendations but I would urge you to try it. I'm sure you must know someone with a PS4 than can give you a loan of one for a week or 2. -
@jonnykesh Thanks for the feedback. Just got tempted by an offer for a brand new one for 21 euro on ebay: bought it.
Let's hope it's actually an official one as described (if not, Paypal will cover ;-) ). -
@udb23 With
ebayyou have a 50/50 chance. Just make sure it is genuine. Also it does take a little while to "break in" in my experience.
So, give it a fair chance.
Sounds like a good deal if it is a genuine SONY OEM DS4. -
Thanks for all the advice here guys. I really like the look of the qumox Wiiu controllers. I may have to give one a go if people can vouch for them. So am I unlikely to experience ghost inputs and lag from using a pi3b+ because of the better WiFi chip? I have to agree that the dpad on the 360 controllers isn't great. And the ibuffalo is a bit small so I'm looking for something in between. Does the Wiiu controllers use the xpad driver or is it independent?

No, it's not using the
xpaddriver. -

Too good to be true. Ebay wrote me that the seller's account had been compromised. No payment was finalised luckily.
Bought another one from Amazon ;-) -
@udb23 Funnily, I watched a YouTube video today about how to spot fake console cartridges. One of the advices given was that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it's very likely a fake one.

@mitu so they should connect straight away and configure in emulation station? I'm guessing then they should work in the lr cores?
-
@ashpi The Wii U Pro controller connect via Bluetooth, you'll have to pair it first, then the configuration in ES and it works straight away. I have one and it works fine, but I didn't test if it works also wired (has an USB cable).
-
@clyde In fact I expected it; still as long as paypal covers that seller: no risk.

@udb23 I concur. To my own biggest surprise, I managed to get a genuine copy of the Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary 3 DVD box (as far as I can tell, but Daphne recognizes it, too) for only 4,04€ plus 3€ shipping at the German Amazon Marketplace last month. \o/
I also expected a fraud, but for that price plus Amazon's refund guarantee, it was worth a try.
