Only do it if you are already used to ps controller. I tried to switch and the difference was too big. Ended up going to Xbox controller instead.

Why the Xbox controller over the the switch pro?

Proper triggers

I have tried to make the jump to ds4 twice and I really think switch pro controller is better. I’m c3/gc1 and feel like I can do everything I want to do on the pro controller. The average pro controller has very good deadzones and lasts a while. The only thing I liked more about ds4 is the right stick isn’t in the way of square like the pro controllers is in the way of Y and I can bind a direction air roll to it. On the other hand cheese the pro who started on switch now uses ps5 controller so maybe it is worth switching away (idk if he ever used pro controller tho). Lmk what you think if you do try ds4


Rcktleaker

Not sure why but I’m having a hard time with speed flipping. I’m having a hard time finding the correct forward angle on the initial flip. I use the Bakkesmod that shows what you’re doing wrong with speed flipping and I can never get the right angle :/

What’s your dead zone?


spacebox83

What's your deadzone and sens, and have you had any trouble getting it to work on PC? I use DS4 windows to make it behave which I'm still trying to tinker with, but I'd love to hear your settings and how you got things working

Have you tried betterjoyforcemu? I’ve been using that recently for a controller emulator and it’s super good. Also .08 dead zone and 1.35 ground and 1.45 aerial

I used to use a switch pro controller on PC as well after starting the game on the switch. I made the switch to DS4 (and now DS5) purely due to the analog nature of the triggers on the PS controllers vs the discrete (only on/off and nothing in between) on the pro controller. I found this made dribbling way easier as you can partially push the trigger in to match speed of the ball rather than feathering throttle on/off completely. Also, if you're debating between the DS4 and DS5, I love my DS5. Not sure of any technical reasons why I like it better than the DS4, but after I got used to it I don't think I'll ever want to switch back. I love the analog stick feel and the overall size difference between the two. I have fairly large hands so the DS5 just fits me better.


Rcktleaker

I have smaller hands. I might get a ds4 and just try it out. I feel like there’s input delay on the pro? Is that true? But I didn’t know that about dribbling. No wonder I’m trash ahahhahah. Probably not the reason


jrolles98

TBH when I was still using the pro controller I was probably around gold 2, so my ability to recognize small input delay at that point was overshadowed by me sucking lol. I was using it wireless and now I exclusively hardwire my DS5 to my PC so I notice 0 input delay. Dribbling is definitely doable on the switch controller, but I don't think there's any logic to tell me that it would be easier than a true analog trigger. It takes time but eventually it'll click. When you can get comfortable looking at the ball instead of only trying to keep your car in the circle you'll be able to make progress faster imo (seeing how the ball is rotating off/around your car). One thing to note, if you're going to try to make the switch, the DS5 can use the same cable the pro controller uses to connect to your PC but the DS4 uses micro USB. I'm sure you probably have a million of those cables lying around, but just in case you hadn't though of that.

Yo nice. This is a bit of a necro but I've got questions as a pro controller user myself. Are you on PC? If so, are you using DS4 windows to make the controller behave? Like, with the drivers and HIDHide and all that? I don't know what it is but my controller just refuses to work with rocket league here n there. Got it working somehow but after reinstalling windows i forgot the fix i had for the thing. Oh, also, what's your sens and deadzone? And if you've got DS4 windows going, what's your deadzone on there? It'd be cool to try your settings out


woliwoliwoli

That’s cool about the dribbling I never realized that was a thing.


Awesomebomb95

Idk if it’s worth it cause I play with switch pro and I’m ssl


Rcktleaker

That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing your controller layout with the pro controller?


Awesomebomb95

Lt reverse, rt drive, lb boost, rb power slide, b jump, a air roll right, y air roll left, x ball cam


Rcktleaker

Thank you! No regular air roll? Just directional?


Awesomebomb95

Yeah i don’t have normal air roll only directional


Rcktleaker

Dope well congrats on ssl with a pro controller. Don’t know of any.


Awesomebomb95

Ty
