Preordered Call of Duty MW2 for PS5 then down a controller rabbit hole somehow.
I have been a console gamer for as long as I can remember and only ever had one aftermarket controller for my N64. Couldn’t stomach spending $300+ on a pre-modified one so went the Extremerate route.
Rear buttons, digital triggers, clicky face buttons and extended thumb sticks. Came in well under the $300 including a new Sony OEM controller with more features and still comp legal for FPS gaming. Just have to completely strip the controller down and not break it.
Then the rabbit hole continued. I have always enjoyed fighting games, particularly Tekken and Mortal Kombat but always struggled with the d-pad. I have never used a fight stick except for in arcades. Didn’t want something that expensive or big and learnt about fightpads. So also got a Hori Fight Commander Octa.
Probably won’t make me much better, similar to bike upgrades but super keen to give the fight pad a go. Hopefully have the new controller tested before MW2 lands as well.
