USB Game Controllers confirmed to work (at least with Teslatari games)

[jebinc]

I did some forum searching, but didn't come up with anything conclusive, hence this new thread. Please post "confirmed to work WELL" USB game controllers - Amazon links appreciated. Ideally, it would work with BB II as well. Don't need wireless, just a short detachable PC-like USB cable.

Nothing?

I can say the Nintendo Wii-U pro controller does NOT work.

Using the 8bitdo wireless bluetooth adapter, PS3 and xbox one controllers work wirelessly (analog and buttons) for me.

Wirelessly natively or with a USB wireless receiver?

Bump - So no one has found a decent USB plug in controller that works well (not just works)?

I have that one radeon88 linked to. It kind of works, with some of the games, but not BBII.

Thanks. I guess it’s not worth buying a controller and trying to play these as Atari originally intended, ‘cause this implementation renders that impossible at the moment.

I use an XBOX 1 controller plugged into the USB port and it works fine. It would be nice to have a sensitivity adjustment but other than that works fine.

I just found a PS4 controller that I forgot I had, but haven't tried it yet. Any PS4 users that may want to share their experience?

What mode (X-Input, D-Input, macOS, ?) are you using? I can get the 8bitdo usb adapter to pair with my 8bitdo NES Pro 30 and my PS4 controller but when I plug it into the car, it does not have any effect.

I went with this solution - was reported as very good in other forums/threads.

and whats your verdict?

and whats your verdict?

My verdict will be posted on Friday, when it arrives. I bought it based on others very positive reviews. Makes sense that it would be better matched to Teslatari as this is basic digital tech that was Atari, vs the analog tech of the PS4 and xBox tech.

I bought these previously, they didn't work.

Wow, I almost bought one of those, but chose the more expensive iBuffalo solution ($22) recommended by another member!

Only the new generation of PS4 controllers work. You can identify these as they have a very thin light bar along the top of the touchpad that faces you, and not just the larger light in the back.

I decided to go with something known to work well... Thanks!
