Recommended controller for PC?

Post by Poppyfarmaston »

Recommended controller for PC? There are so many binding keys in the game. Especially with forestry vehicles. What controllers would be best suited to play this game on PC?

I'm actually thinking there are too many commands for a controller ... however that said ... I feel this game would be more enjoyable playing with a controller. Just thinking out loud.

Thoughts?

If you want to go with "least expensive"; try a wired Xbox 360 controller. OR, even better a Xbox One controller (and then buy a micro USB cable for it for your computer). To me; the Xbox One controller feels better overall when compared to the wired Xbox 360 controller.

Past that; not sure.

Several people like using things like steering wheels for the driving part; and some kind of "side panel" or whatever for the extra stuff. (not 100% sure what it is/might be called). Basically; something like at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Saitek-Farming-S ... B010FP5KI6

I use a combo of Xbox one controller and keyboard. With a lot of mods installed, you’ll have to have some on keyboard but it works well.

if you have windows 10 , I recommend the Xbox One Controller because you can connect it via bluetooth.

Yep but I have fs through steam and that recognises a PS4 controller through usb. Not sure if you need a driver for other versions.

The Logitech F310 is really nice, I use one and I love it. I use a keyboard for some of the inputs still

THANKS GUYS!!! Lots to choose from. I think I will get something like an Xbox controller to match the Xbox I soon intend to purchase.
(Shame we can't play cross platform games yet. :( )

I am now also thinking about getting myself a Game Pad as well.

Thanks again for all the well informed responses.

Much appreciated.
~Dave. :)

Please do keep them coming. ; )

Download DS4 for Windows and it emulates an Xbox remote.
