Best controller for FFXI (2015)

[Talraen]

I use the Logitech F310 (costs less than $20). It has a switch for Direct Input (which works well with FFXI) or the more modern Xbox controller-style on the back, so it works well with FFXI and can be used for modern games too. I just wish they still offered a wireless version.

I played this game on Playstation 2 from 2004 to 2008. At that time I migrated to some Playstation 2 controller shaped things by Logitech. But those have broken over the years. Currently I use a regular Playstation controller but I run it through an adapter to turn it into USB.

Here is a list of products on Amazon.

I use this one, but it looks almost sold out.

This one looks nice too.

If you're migrating from Xbox, I'm not sure what those adapters might look like.

Zarchery,

If you still have everything from the PS2 edition of FFXI, (white outer retail box, HDD Setup disc, and the like) I might want that. If your willing to part with it, think up a (reasonable) number. Even with FFXI for PS2 coming to an end, I might want it as a novelty item. Let me know.

I have all of the Japanese releases from their launches, but it wasn't bundled with a HDD. Every individual PS2 expansion disc as well. The manual didn't ship inside the case at launch, due to being 300+ pages, it was shrink-wrapped to the DVD case.

The Logitech F710 has all the same features as the F310, plus it also has the ability to vibrate and it is wireless.

It does sometimes have problems with the wireless signal getting thru properly due to positioning of the receiver and the controller. But with the switch in the Directinput position, it works very well with FFXI. The Xinput position of the switch makes it work very much like the Xbox 360 controller.

I have the same Logitech wireless and I will say that while it is nice to have and it works very well with XI, the above is true. It's pretty well documented/complained about on the Logitech forums. Mine didn't start out that way but after some time (years I think for me) it got annoying enough to where I switched to the F310. Of course now, the wired version is suffering from a "double tap" on the confirmation button (X I think) but I blame that on me dropping it too much :P.
