[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 236330, member: 134"] Some things I've learned: If you have the 360 controller plugged in and restart the computer, it will still register as Player 2. This is because wireless apparently always registers first. If you have the 360 controller plugged in and restart the computer but immediately start pushing buttons on the controller during boot up, you can sneak it in as Player one before the wireless registers. Once the 360 controller is registered, swapping it for a different wired controller by using the same USB port will let that also be Player one. If you have the non 360 controller plugged in at computer boot up, no amount of button pushing seems to override the f710's spot as Player one. Something else I noticed, and this bugs me to no end also, is the vibration settings. Vibration in the f710 has always been less when compared to the 360 controller. This new controller I have, the vibration is almost non existent. Thing is, play Zen pinball with it and it's a good strong vibration equal to that of the 360 controller. So again, what the hell? Is there any way for us to be in control of the base strength of vibration? I really wish I could just be happy with the 360 controller, but I hate it for pinball. I hate the left analogue stick being up high, as that's not where my thumb rests for nudging. The shape of the 360 makes my fingers want to naturally rest on the triggers, not the shoulder buttons, but triggers are not the right feel for pinball. I want to push buttons. However I also find the 360 shoulder buttons to be somewhat mushy. My preferred controller feel is that of a Dual Shock controller. I'd be fine with the f710 except for it dropping signal. Reason I didn't get the wired f310 is that it doesn't have rumble. So here I have a wired dual shock style controller with rumble, and the one game I most want it for doesn't seem to want to cooperate! Might have to send it back to Amazon and try something else. Dammit. I hear the PS4 controller is a winner. Is it really plug and play on Windows 10? How's the rumble in TPA on it? I really didn't wanna spend $60 on one, but the $20 option isn't cutting it.
