If it had all those features and was made with some real quality parts, I would gladly pay 500 bucks for it.

My friend do I have some exciting news for you…
There is no perfect controller…
…But I do have a list of features I would want my perfect controller to have based off all the controllers that have ever been made :
- TMR joystick modules (successor to Hall effect sticks)
- adjustable tension springs and locking mechanism for varied stick cap types (Xbox Elite series 2 does most of this but uses magnetic caps which would interfere with the TMR sticks so ball bearing connections or other option would be preferable)
- 6 DOF / gyro sensors + infrared camera (Wii Motion Plus)
- Adaptive haptic triggers (PS5) which can be toggled to hair trigger mode via switches (Xbox Elite series 2)
- multi-touchpad on face (PS5)
- analog face buttons (DualShock 2 controller had this but only a few games utilized this… the best example was the PS2 era Metal Gear Solid games)
- customizable “per-button” color assignment / micro OLED or e-ink screens so button graphics can be swapped (PBTails new controller does the per button RGB color assignment)
- USB-C / 4 wired connectivity + charging
- baseplate contact-charging (PS5 controller has these so you can set them on charging docks)
- hot swappable battery pack + AA battery holder pack or ability to not have a battery on at all when connected via USB-C (Xbox 360 controller had this)
- swappable non-magnetic Zinc-alloy faceplates (PBTails new controller has these)
- removable back triggers with dedicated button assignments (like the Steam Deck’s L4/5 and R4/5 buttons; not just cloned face buttons like Sony and XBox do)
- integrated microphone with hardware toggle (PS5)
- proper “separate keys” d-pad… not the mushy type
- touch-sensitive surfaces for every button and stick (Meta / Oculus Quest controllers do this)
- per-finger-joint touch sensitive grips for each finger segment (Valve’s VR controllers did this)
- the ability to separate the halves of the controller so that each hand could hold one half independently and have them track similar to most standard VR controllers (think combining the switch controllers and Quest controllers)
- NFC communication (Amiibo-stuff for example)
If any single controller did even half of this, they’d easily be the GOAT.
241·9 days agoAs long as there are killer 1st party titles exclusive to a console platform, there’s a reason to buy one.
Personally, I love Zelda, Mario, and most recently I’ve been excited about the new Astro Bot game about to come out.
Outside of Steam Deck emulation, you need a console to play those, and I do enjoy the convenience.
The last Xbox worth buying was the 360, because all Xbox titles are released on other platforms now - eliminating the need for an Xbox console.

feel free to tell me how you’ll get 67 votes without compromise for single payer healthcare
Certainly.
The same way LBJ got assholes blocking his legislative goals to move out of the way : http://www.americanyawp.com/text/wp-content/uploads/Lyndon_Johnson_and_Richard_Russell.jpg
The same way FDR got the conservative leaning Supreme Court to stop blocking his agenda…
…And if that doesn’t work. I want some Machiavellian shit. I want Kamala to inform Joe Manchin that “it would be a shame if his daughter - who bought the rights to the Epipen were to have that shit investigated and nationalized under the Sherman Act since it is imperative to national security that emergency medical care be available at a reasonable price for all Americans who need it… that it would be a shame if the EPA came and investigated his yacht for potential violations…”
I want every single thing investigated and paperwork dumped on these ACTUAL shitheads blocking the good things ALL Americans should be demanding… and I want Harris at the bully pulpit clearly blaming and POINTING right in the faces of those blocking it… directing Americans’ collective righteous fiery ire where it is completely deserved, until they are TERRIFIED to NOT support her objectively magnanimous policy efforts.
Trump did evil versions of this every day in office - it’s how we ended up with Jan 6th idiots storming the Capitol. The good version is just basically telling the truth and not being afraid of the whiny ultra-rich donors and ghoul rat liar fake D politicians who aren’t loyal to her anyway.
No, we don’t need compromise.
No one wants compromise. No one wants the “one time mail-in rebate coupon” version of legislation.
They want simple universal non-means tested policies that work everywhere else in the industrialized 1st world countries that cost billionaires real money that they can easily afford which then provides nearly every other American real tangible life-changing benefits.
No one wants the compromised version of human rights. No one wants the compromised version of medical debt forgiveness. No one wants the compromised version of universal healthcare.
DO NOT compromise AGAIN.
If they wanna join that’s fine, but they come to over to OUR side.
We don’t move to them.
We don’t extend a hand. Biden and Obama did that with McConnell with olive branches like fucking Merrick Garland… and they still slapped the helping compromising hands away.
Please don’t fall for the Lucy football shit yet again.
an endorsement != they’re setting policy
You know that… I know that. Do the consultants and millionaire pundits in the beltway at the ears of those in power know that?
I mean… so many of the people on TV seem to LOVE pretending there’s some sort of fairy-tale “middle-of-the-road” voter that only wants a little teensy tiny bit of genocide, racism, federal abortion ban, and just a little tiny 0.001% increase in taxes for billionaires… rather than just fascists / fascist apologists (Republican Trump supporters)… and people who don’t want fascist bullshit (everyone else).
Did u/shittymorph ever end up migrating to Lemmy from Reddit? I miss them.
I know we need to partner with everyone who will join us at the ballot… I just do NOT want the policies being reshaped in order to “better attract” the right-wingers - whose gutting of our already laughable social safety net was a key aspect that made so many increasingly desperate Americans far more vulnerable to demagoguery like that which is constantly espoused by figures like Trump.
The real solution is clearly laid out as history has multiple examples to show.
When people can’t meet their base socioeconomic needs, they are more vulnerable to this shit. So raise the baseline standards such that everyone who isn’t a billionaire is far better off - no medical debt, no student debt, affordable rent and housing, job and financial stability, and being able to afford to have a family.
Do NOT do cuts to our already barely-existing social and economic safety nets.
Ok how about this :
They can join, but I’d better not hear the D leaders basically saying to Romney and McConnell ilk : “Sit up here, friend! 😘Now you can join us and take the wheel to help us steer our country somewhere better!”
If they don’t want to fuck this up, they’d better say to any of these likely turncoats : “sit down and row ya bilge rat. If I think yer not tryin’ yer damndest or look to not be doing yer part I’ll lock ye cockle shells in irons and toss yer ass as a meat anchor to the bloodthirsty sharks in the depths below.”
I mean… I don’t WANT these asshats feeling welcomed to our side just like I don’t want a billionaire talking at the DNC, and I don’t want a Republican getting speaking time while others with much more important less ethically reprehensible things to say aren’t allowed even 3 minutes on stage.
I want us to win despite these people, with folks like Lena Khan getting more props. I don’t want the endorsement of these rats jumping from the sinking R ship to the D ship because they smell some cheddar they might can come nibble on.
There are only 2 Trump videos I rewatch from time to time :

For those who don’t know…
Translation :
“Because I’m a fucking ghoul rat, I see the shit-smelling Trump ship sinking. So now I want to pretend that - even though I voted for the skid-mark 3 times - I’m someone you should definitely see as a decent person because only now (but not after he said “grab them by the pussy” or when he made fun of the disabled reporter, or when he threw kids in cages, or when he lied constantly, spouted demagoguery, or pushed his supporters to storm the Capitol building in D.C.) - when he looks to be politically vulnerable - I want to distance myself and pretend I’m somehow worthy of praise while also hoping to be able to be re-elected eventually when people start looking at voting for Rs again.”
I think you misinterpreted my “surprise” as some sort of Simping / ass kissing for the DNC.
Perhaps I should’ve phrased it more like :
“it was awesome hearing AOC. Surprised that the DNC did that. Times are changing.”
Nah they still are teeball amateurs compared to Kyle Clark.
