To be honest, I haven't touched my PlayStation Classic in about two months. But I figured that these Yok controllers are cheap and they probably won't last long at that price for those who are interested in owning them.
Thanks for the tip on this man. I bought some too. It is a steal at this price. The only negative is it uses batteries like those xbox controllers.
Prices are rising on them now that people figured out how versatile they are for emulation purposes. I can't seem to find any listings below $39.99 between Amazon and Walmart. And I haven't seen them in stores since March before COVID-19 hit.
While a solid price, i watched a review of these and of note, the face buttons are further apart as well as the internal buttons on the dpad. The dpad has no fixed point in the middle to rotate around and it's difficult to hit diagonal motions in fighting games. With the face buttons it makes it hard to play games where you hold a button with your thumb (like to run) and then use the back side of your thumb to hit another button (like for jumping). So certain games aren't going to play as well with these controllers, but games like RPG's and stuff will be perfect for this. It's still a good deal overall and supposedly they work fine with retropi, pc, and possibly other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I ended up just buying one of the $20 usb/bt devices so I could bluetooth a standard controller (like WiiU Pro, PS4, etc). It's a pricier way to go, but it works fine and the adapter works on switch and other platforms.
You make good points. I'm not debating anything that you've said here. But for $3, it's a decent solution if you want a wireless controller. And I don't like the stock PlayStation Classic controller for fighting games either.
The adapter is also good for the Turbo 16 mini, which also did not come with a power adapter.
Shortly after I last posted, I used the Yok controller to successfully play the following games:
For $3, no one should have had expectations to begin with! LOLFor $3, people really need to manage their expectations.
I think that the other posters were referencing the 8BitDo PlayStation Classic wireless dongle that enables use of other Bluetooth controllers that have analog sticks such as the PlayStation 4 controller instead of the stock wired PlayStation Classic controller.
Yes, I use rechargeable batteries with mine. My favorite thing is that the Yok controller is lighter than the stock wired one. Not too heavy in your hands but still substantial. They originally retailed for much more. I remember seeing them for $12.99 each at GameStop last winter.
That's like, a myth. None of the PS1 games required a Dual Shock (except Ape Escape) and none of the games were designed around using a Dual Shock (except Ape Escape).
Back in the ps1 days, I literally never used the DualShock analog sticks for any game. My young self actually use to wonder “why did they even add these dumb sticks on here if they have no unique functionality”
guess you never played any racing game? gran turismo and the analog sticks was a game changer for me.
Metal Gear Solid with analog on made the game better as it was one of the few games to allow the right stick to be used for camera controls. Many other games made good use of the sticks. I thought some of the ridge racer games did... but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe I'm just remembering how amazing it seemed on the N64 with it's analog stick and thinking PS1 also had analog beyond the negcon controller for those namco racers.
Are you sure about that? I must've played that game a dozen times as a kid, but I strongly recall the camera angles to be fixed for the MGS series, all the way up until "Substance" style games came out.
I googled it. I remember having some camera controls on the right stick and the movement on the left stick was better too with the analog.
