Best controller for FFXI (2015)

[Dsherman]

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.

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.
