BigHatPaul Member May 28, 2019 1,823 Swamp Some controllers are loud. The current gen XBOX controller is LOUD. Aggressively. The PS5, not so much. Some third party ones are pretty loud, too, like 8bitdo's buttons. But does it bother you or take you out of the experience? Or do you find it oddly satisfying? I actually quite enjoy hearing the clacking noises watching speedruns but not that big a fan hearing it while I'm playing.  Dest Has seen more 10s than EA ever will Coward Jun 4, 2018 16,041 Work I've really never even paid attention to it. But now that you've brought it my attention, it's going to be the only thing I can think of when I'm using a controller. Thanks OP.  nsilvias Member Oct 25, 2017 30,147 i mostly wear headphones so i dont care for the most part. i have a stadia controller tho and that think is loud.   YohraUtopia Member Apr 1, 2021 1,409 I've never noticed except that the rumble on the wireless Xbox controller is in fact extremely loud; it startles me sometimes.   Mullet2000 Member Oct 25, 2017 6,399 Toronto I'm banned from using the Xbox Series controller after 10:00 p.m. by my wife because of the noise lmao.   MADSUPERVILLAIN Member Jan 11, 2018 1,665 Dunedin, New Zealand I haven't really thought about it before, but I've spent my life playing PC games on Cherry MX Blues and fighting games on my arcade stick so I really have been using the loudest possible input methods this whole time.   Transistor The Walnut King Administrator Oct 25, 2017 41,656 Washington, D.C. The combination of the d-pad and the rumble motors on the Series controllers can wake the dead.   Killzig Member Oct 25, 2017 1,132 The clickiness of sticks or buttons doesn't bother me but rumble is something I disable as soon as I get hands on a controller almost immediately since the feature was introduced. Absolutely hate it.   Doc Laserstein Member Oct 25, 2017 5,605 The only controller that has ever really bothered me has been exclusive to all three dualsenses I have owned, and it's this disconcertingly loud and aggressive clicking/rattling that comes from the rumble in certain games.   OP OP BigHatPaul Member May 28, 2019 1,823 Swamp Any pop'n music players in here? Loudest controller I've ever used by far   WordsAndDreams Member Jan 4, 2018 1,378 I used to not think about it. But after using the Dual Sense primarily for the last couple years, I can't help but notice how loud my 8bitdo is.   ari Member May 7, 2024 650 Biarritz my logitech f310 isn't loud. although my 7.1 system gets in the way of every noise except the sound of a meteorite striking my house  Dougieflesh One Winged Slayer The Fallen Oct 25, 2017 37,219 Milky Way Ghetto I've never really noticed controller noise until the Xbox Series controller. Those buttons and bumpers are so damn loud.   Gavalanche Prophet of Regret Member Oct 21, 2021 25,941 Is the xbox controller loud? I havent noticed? Maybe I am too used to it. I will keep an ear out when I play next.   moqz Member Jan 28, 2025 487 The switch pro controller sounds like it's filled with bees when it rumbles. It's really annoying because you can barely even feel the LRA's in the switch pro controller, they really needed larger ones.   MissedArrows Member Feb 6, 2025 230 I prefer ps controllers, but got an xbox series controller for compatibility on PC. I haven't used it in years and instead just find workarounds for my dualsense if needed. The loudness is too much, it can be heard through mics and I'm concerned back when I had roommates they could hear it too. I was shocked when watching old recordings and the clicking was that loud.  Last edited: 1 minute ago Dezzy Member Oct 25, 2017 3,791 USA I hate noisy controllers. The Xbox Series ones drove me nuts. The dpad and all the buttons were too noisy.   rics2980 Member Oct 28, 2017 257 My friend's Xbox series controller sounds like he is slapping a typewriter when we're party chatting. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. Other than that I'm not really bothered by controller noise.   Letters Prophet of Truth Avenger Oct 27, 2017 5,201 Portugal Recently moved to maining the Dual Sense on PC after years of Xbox controllers just because of this. I grew tired of those loud and stiff buttons. Dual Sense is inferior in some ways but at least those face buttons are a pleasure to press. Hopefully the Xbox Sebile controller really copies all the best things of the Dual Sense for the ultimate controller.  Tohsaka Member Nov 17, 2017 7,098 I really like how quiet the DualSense is. I have an Xbox controller only for PC games that don't have native DS support/prompts and I hate how noisy it is in comparison. It feels cheap.   Kevers The Fallen Oct 29, 2017 15,890 Syracuse, NY The dpad on my launch dualsense makes this really annoying squeaky sound when you push it, drives me up a wall. My galaxy purple is flawless though  Audiblee Member Mar 14, 2025 1,596 Hated the noise my Series controllers made. One of many reasons I don't miss that console.   Zafir Member Oct 25, 2017 8,977 I use a cherry blue mx keyboard, I'm fine with loud peripherals lol. The only thing bothers me with noise is if something is amiss. Like if theres random squeaking from things or clicking that shouldn't be there. Those bother me.
