Depch Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I am using a basic Microsoft keyboard at the moment with USB connection to my laptop. Probably a cost of 10$. No adjusted USB polling rates to registry. In 2000's while playing Quake etc. I've played the game also with adjusted polling rates and they can make a tiny difference. Aka negate the effects on low agility a bit. I think I had that with my last keyboard 2014 in Ducky Shine 4 mechanical keyboard, probably the best keyboard I've ever used for gaming. Clearly as I'm not using that now I can say that lag compensation has much more effect playing online in NHL94. Changing polling rates in registry is common in other games to get away from the Windows default limitations and the benefits of that are not restricted to keyboard but to all usb devices like gamepads. That might seem cheat like for players who have no history from competitive online gaming environments, but there is the clash. It is not so in competitive environments, more like endorsed. This is the future topic of NHL94 online gaming, where to go. What is allowed. To take competitive route or stay casual. I'm sure there have been players who have used some/all of these to their advantage, but to keep the game interesting and even leveled to everyone it needs to be known for all. Old era, Plabax era as the renaissance era and new era where all this is defined and playground is even?-) Overall keyboard vs gamepad conversation is that: -Butter fingers make less mistakes with keyboard, but good and precise fingers are as good with both. -For me smooth deking is harder with keyboard and my skating looks "bulky", so that is harder for me to perform on keyboard than gamepad. -There is a theoretical tiny advantage to keyboard in direct left - right without going diagonal, but the difference is so tiny that it hardly plays any part in the game. -Because of the above in theory keyboard is better for gimmicks and gamepad for skating, that is my take.

PixelDragon Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 You can add me if you will, I used a Logitech gamepad in the past, but the quality is not so good, after one year you need to change. When the pad is new the feeling is close to the original gens pad. I have a Saturn pad too, but I think It's not an original, a simple copy made by the asian market. So I don't use it, the cross don't response so well. Actually I use a xbox360 gamepad. It do the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualizard Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Depch, thanks for all your details! I am a stickler for details. I am pretty sure FPB does use some sort of mechanical gaming keyboard, but I will wait and see if he gives more info... I know Plabax used to use a lag switch, but I am not sure if it was keyboard mounted or not? Pearate, thanks for letting us know. I want to know what everyone uses, not just the A guys; I just named this thread "Controllers of the Stars" for fun. Also, I like that you use an unusual controller; at least unusual for this community. Let's get every possible example out there, and then newcomers will have more options to choose from, and Vets can consider changing.

Premium Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 For what it's worth, I am still one of the best players in SNES (where there is no lag and I used controller) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackVandal Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 IMO, the biggest take-away from this is that Ice pulls off those dirty backhand-pass-shots w that controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Derp Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Can you play in either Gen or SNES no matter what type of gamepad you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online you can use whatever gamepad will work with your computer and retroarch. You do not need a separate controller for each console.

clockwise Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 3 hours ago, Mr. Derp said: In that case, why are there separate Gen and SNES leagues? They were like two warring tribes of isolated peoples, untouched by the civilized world, at one point in history. Visually the games are similar, but there are some pretty big differences in sprites and menus. Some differences in game play as well. If you have the latest version of Retroarch from this site, you should be able to load the SNES core and the original rom file to see for yourself.
