What controller do you use?

@Brigane I had an extra arcade stick kit, and I found this. I ordered the single-player one and he makes them and sends them out fast. You just need to assemble the pieces and glue together. https://www.etsy.com/shop/WorkshopMatt?ref=search_shop_redirect

Looks nice, the only problem is I live in Danmark so the toll fee will be to expensive. A European seller would be better :)

@BGallagherLA i just sent a question about getting one without all the holes on the side pieces. These look cool. Thanks for the link.

@edmaul69 Quite welcome!

@itsnitro It means Left, not neccesarily left-handed.
It comes from the left and right side of a coat of arms, Sinister and Dexter. -
I used a DS4 with the USB reciever.
I tried over bluetooth but the ds4drv software caused my pi3 to overheat even on the ES menu.
with the USB dongle I have had no problems at all.! its a great controller -

@Ecks
The point is, he'll have to pair his controller with your RPi, and after re-pair it with his PS3 (DS3 only can pair with on device).
Also note that PS3 controller driver disable normal bluetooth stack, so you can't use a ps3 controller wireless with another BT controller.The thing is i plan on using it only wired not by bluetooth since i use a bluetooth keyboard for my Pi as well.

It looks cool and all but would be cooler just buying the wood and making your own design instead like as an example when i end up building mine i am going to use clear blue akrilik around the sides while using a white LED in it.

PS4 controller since that was the only controller I had. I must admit, it's the perfect controller for PSX gaming.
-
I use a pair of wireless Logitech f710 controllers. Kind of a one fits all solution.

I have tried 10-20 pads and personally think the Wii U is the best, but I have small hands xD
Gonna start working my way through the 8bitdo ones next

There is a nice list of retro controllers here. https://nostalgiatechs.com/retro-games-controller-usb-wireless/

360 wireless controller. Work s fine with the dongle no hassle.

If someone is looking for a very good controller to use and doesn't have a lot of money get the GameSir G3s works perfect on my Pi (uses USB dongle) and the battery life is about 18 hours long and takes about an hour to two hours to charge.

That is the exact same controller I am using and it is great! My only issue with it is the d-pad on it kind of sucks compared to that of a ps3/ps4 controller. I have a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth on the Rpi3 but there is noticeable input lag in fighting games. Does anyone know how to fix/reduce the input lag? The one thing I love about the gamesir g3s is that it has a usb dongle but it's 2.4ghz as opposed to blutooth and there is no input lag whatsoever. Would it be worth buying a usb bluetooth dongle for the ps4 controller? Or would I still have the same results? I am unable to use it wired because of my setup even though I know it would be ideal. Any advice/tips for my situation in regards to the ps4 controller?

@r3dxk1ng I use the usb dongle for the ps4 controller, and it works very well, I love it, I used the ds4drv before and it caused overheating issues, not lag, but the pi overheated instantly.
the dongle is 100% worth the money in my opinion. I do notice a quicker response from the iPac2, but that could be the buttons, I am not sure,
one thing I can say, my brother in law flew out to visit us recently and loves playing tombraider, he played three of them through on the pi, then went home and played the ps1 versions on the ps2, and said that the emulation on the ps2 was poor and had noticeably more lag than the Pi, he said the Pi gameplay and responsiveness was better than anything else he has played those games on, and that was with the ds4 and the usb dongle. -

Quick question though; how do I go about disabling the on-board Bluetooth of the RaspberryPi3 via emulation station so that I can use the Bluetooth USB dongle instead? Will they conflict if I don't turn it off? Also I have a 2.4ghz wireless USB dongle plugged into one of the USB ports and I am wondering if it can/will work along side the Bluetooth one without any issues. Any info/help is greatly appreciated.

Two PS1 Dual Analogs in console's original ports and ports wired to USB-adapter. I have three of those controllers and will buy more, when I discover them locally. The ones I have I have opened up, washed up the cases and the buttons and changed new membrane rubbers to them, so they are like new to play.
