We're not fanboys, it's just that we've done several benchmarks, and time after time, Intel's CPUs consistently have higher single-thread instructions-per-cycle. In the Dolphin community we generally recommend Intel's products. Despite being dual-core, it can overclock (without needing a new cooler too) until everything you want to play is playable. Even the Pentium G2358 is seen as the 3rd best CPU for Dolphin atm. An i7 would be beneficial if you like to record gameplay videos while compressing Blu-rays while playing Dolphin while browsing Firefox, but outside of cases where you would need the multitasking, an i5 is more than enough. After 3, you basically see no return on investment. The reason? Dolphin doesn't use more than three cores/threads to do a majority of its processing. an i5 Haswell running at 3.5GHz in Dolphin is equal to an i7 Haswell running at 3.5GHz).

CONS: Cheapish feeling of shell, ABYX placement, triggers, thumbsticks feeling too damn premium on a damn cheap ass controller, would've made sense on the DS4.ħ: The Wii U Pro Controller | PROS: Battery life.I guess? CONS: everything.Actually, you won't see a noticeable or appreciable difference between an i5 or i7 at the same clock and of the same microarchitecture (e.g. CONS: Battery life, but you'd likely have this plugged in, ABYX placement, digital triggers.Ħ: XBOX One Controller | PROS: Thumbsticks, d-pad, rumble, fairly decent button layout.

I watched more stuff about what controllers are the best for Gamecube Emulation, and what I gathered from this was:ġ: Genuine Gamecube controller, or a re-released model. And the last one.THE FUCKING BATTERY LIFE AND NEED FOR BATTERIES! Sony changed to internal batteries before Nintendo and Microsoft if im correct, but I think the reason was that you would have to completely replace the entire or most or if you're lucky, some of the components that got covered in whatever kind of extremist levels of tangy juices that leaked out of the battery, but your guess is as good as mine. but a bit unnecessary, the triggers were cool, but I preferred the 360's triggers a bit more, probably because of the gap that is between the trigger and the rear space. The backgrips are loose, but it's likely for access to the screws. I think the front plate came loose for it to get caught on a blanket to get pulled out or something, but it wasn't on purpose at all. I don't think I've EVER thrown a controller in my life, and im usually pretty gentle on controllers, it might've been cause these were used, but I think after about like.what three months? And a thumb stick fell out. Now the issues, and there are a LOT! First, the durability.
The thumbsticks are the first premium part, and the triggers are the second. port on the bottom of the controller, similar to all the mini keyboards for the 360 and xbox one) Honestly, I would rather use the Dualshock 4 controller over the Xbox One controller.(Im gonna go off on about the Xbox One controller) Scott the Woz said "the Xbox One controller feels more premium in some ways but cheaper in others", and I've never agreed with something more than this. if you take away the limited amount of touchpad space, it's pretty much a 2-in-1 controller (minus keyboard, but I bet there are quite a few keyboard attachments that you can place in the EXT.

But another plus is the touchpad, which can replicate the mouse extremely well. The secondary issue with the DS4 is the button placement, like Shady Guy Jose mentioned.
Exactly, from what I heard, the gyro and motion is rather great.
