The Controller topic.

[Chatter]

Hey community!

I wonder what kind of controllers you guys have played TH games with, what your favourite is and if there's any you don't like?
If you remapped buttons or edited keyboard controls, tell us about it! With what controls do you play your TH games?

I played with: N64, GC, Keyboard, PS2 and PS3 controllers.

I like all, but I defenitely enjoy GC most. It's what I used to play with all the time, all 5 TH games on the system (and some non TH games of course).
What I ESPECIALLY like about the GC controller is the control stick, the 8 direction caved plastic. This made it really easy for me to nail specials, frontflips and rolls, for example. on PS controllers it is hard for me with the control stick, so I use it's D-Pad.

The GC controller also felt really smooth for me, fits my hands really well, and I actually like the unusual face button layout.

I never expected keyboard controls to be great for TH games, but surprisingly, I could get used to them pretty well, and they felt pretty natural and controllable, although I still prefer controllers.

Nowadays I play ThugPRO with my PS3 controller, using the D-Pad to control rather than the analog stick.

i had TH1 and 2 on PS1, had TH3 on gamecube, 4 on Xbox, Underground 1, 2, and AW on PS2. so i grew up mostly with the playstation layout.

that being said, im playing Thugpro with a xbox 360 controller. its just what i happened to have on hand at the time, and ive gotten pretty comfortable with it.

has anyone noticed any signifigant wear on your controllers from playing this game? particularly when going after high combos. maybe its just me, but i feel like i get really heavy on my joysticks when playing this.

I played PS 1 and 2 on PC with a keyboard (which was a nightmare), and then all of them up until American Wasteland on Gamecube, which honestly had a v nice controller. Nowdays I play THUGPro using one of those crummy Logitech F310 usb controllers (which surprisingly aren't terrible). I do have a Mock Gamecube usb controller somewhere, but I don't use it cause its cheap and crappy and the triggers aren't pressure sensitive which bugs me to no end.

I started off playing THPS games on a joypad but in the long run keyboard reigns supreme. The keyboard doesn't slip when you're sweaty, you got your fingers on more buttons and you're in 100% control this way! No annoying button slippage, for me keyboard+mouse is godtier controller.

Yeah, in my opinion keyboard and mouse is pretty much the best controller ever.

Hey Tomo, how exactly do you play with both Keyboard AND mouse? what do you use your mouse for in TH games?

I agree, it also is cheaper not spending money on a controller! I have a custom mapping for my game and it feels sooo damn nice, it's like, so comfy, no button gets in my way nor is a button too far!
For those who wanna know what it is, here it goes.

Up: Arrow up
Down: Arrow down
Left: Arrow left
Right: Arrow right
Grind: W
Flip: A
Grab: D
Ollie: Spacebar
Caveman: R
Alt get off board: Shift
Camera up: S
Camera down: X
Camera left: Z
Camera right: C
Focus or whatever: F
Camera lock: T
Spin right (Or Nollie): E
Spin left (Whatever button it was): Q
Camera toggle: G
Park up: Home
Park down: End
Park left: Insert
Park right: Page down

Some may say it's awkward as fuck, but like this i landed my 78mill! Seems awkward but it's just about getting the hang of it.

And what controls i played so far? Playstation 1 & 2, despite the fact that i played THPS for longer on PS controls, i still prefer keyboard, i can't land 500k on PS2... However, i land way better combos in THUGPro with keyboard, even tho my average score is just around 20mill.....

EDIT: Just corrected a typo.

I've played THUGPRO on my actual GC controller before. There's a driver that allows you to use the official Wii U Gamecube Controller Adapter on PC & that's what I used when my old PC controller broke last year.
However, the THUGPRO Launcher has issues with the Gamecube Controller driver so I had to use Xpadder.

(I currently use an Afterglow Xbox One controller for THUGPRO.)
EDIT: I just use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller now.

Nice post boosting with all these meaningless threads.

[Chatter]

Yeah, I've looked into the GC adaptor for Wii U and figured it could work on PC, but never got the chance to try. You'd also be missing some buttons like l2, l3 and r3 so it might not be ideal (although the originals were playable just fine)
