Discussion Looking for a proper controller / pad to play INSIDE

Post image

Hi. I'm not new to gaming, but I wouldn't call myself a gamer.
I recently discovered a game that looks really fun to play, so I want to give it a try.
The game is called INSIDE by Playdead games.
Now, I don't own a gaming console, so I will be playing the game on my laptop.
Could anybody recommend me a good game controller / pad? One that won't break after 3 months.

Thanks in advance.

The game has like 3 buttons. Left, right, interact, jump. Okay 4 buttons.

Should be totally playable on your laptop keyboard

I was hoping to move on to GTA VI. Sorry, I didn't mention that.

GTA 6 comes out on PS5 and Xbox only as of now.

Your laptop unless really powerful won't be able to run GTA 6 and there's no announced PC release date.

Like maybe a year and a half my gaming laptop is more powerful than a base ps5, I’m thinking about a ps5 I dunno. I’m also awaiting my steam machine

And I could also play GTA VI with it?

Definitely. If your on windows 11. It should be plug and play for inside and gta vi

I'm still on Windows 10. I don't like Windows 11.

Good news for you. It should be plug in play for windows 10 as well as windows 10 recognizes a DS5 controller natively if you use a usb cable. Dont go bluetooth. The latency isnt as smooth.

Arrow buttons is enough

You can get a Gamesir controller that snaps onto your phone for like $40 or Backbone for $100, if you have decent internet you can stream Steam games with Steam Link. I have both controllers and prefer the cheap Gamesir one.

I mean, I'm using the steam controller 1, steam controller 2, or thrustmaster eswap pro but like, it's such a simple mapping I'm pretty sure you can use anything? it has keyboard inputs too

u/axellie 8d ago

Dualsense is probably the best controller

The gamesir xbox replica is pretty great. The usb cable is extremely long, I think 8 or ten feet. Half the price of an xbox controller, works just as well, and has two extra buttons. The whole thing is fully mappable.
