@FlytzRL PS5 controllers, Xbox controllers etc all have a slightly squared input.
Native's game input + DS4 controller will give you as you say, more room for perfect X/Y axis, giving it a cross-style behavior
@FlytzRL ''All controller sticks, no matter the brand, work with a natural circular input. That’s how analog hardware is designed''
This is completely wrong.
Most controllers actually use a slightly squared input.
DS4 controller use circular input. Its why all pros use it.
6/6 The verdict:
You definitely could argue that it offers the highest mechanical potential (for shape inputs), however the downsides of it probably outweigh the positives, especially if you are focused on competitive play.
