Saturn gamepad for Playstation 4

Post by heli »

What is a good gamepad for PS4 ?
Is there a saturn gamepad for playstation 4 ?
i just started with SHMUPS on PS4 and need a better gamepad, not a joystick, and best without joysticks.
Saturn gamepad is what i am used to for SHMUPS.

Wireless or not i dont mind.
Any advice ?

Apparently the Retrobit saturn usb pads can be used on a Ps4 with the brook Ps3 to Ps4 adapter.

HORI Fighting Commander for PlayStation 4 & 3 Officially Licensed by Sony - PlayStation 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVOFIAA/

The Hori fight commander is really nice. Great cross style dpad. It's a pretty brutal on the thumb for long term fighting game play.

Good luck!

There is a Saurn-style wired pad coming from Power A, hopefully for the holidays. Very, very little info out there aside from their initial announcement about a month back, though.

I'm still a bit bitter that Retrobit managed to mess up with the d-pad on the Saturn controller. They were so close to having it right. Maybe it's been fixed since then but I haven't read anything so I held off all my orders.

He is not the one making any claims. He is merely asking a question.

There is a whole thread about the Retro-bit controllers here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64381

tl:dr, the Mega Drive ones are pretty good. The Saturn ones have some issues.

Cheers all, no idea how I missed those dpad issues in the main thread about the Retro-bit controllers.
Hopefully its all been resolved now and that was just something the initial run of units had...
