Re: game pad for playing mk11?
The Xbox One controller is king for plug and play. You only need to plug it in and it'll automatically come up as an XInput device. No need for special drivers or anything. It however, is the less comfortable of the two for fighting games. Because you're using the analog stick for special motions (the D-Pad being placed too awkwardly for such inputs), you're likely to hit incorrect directions because of the round aperture. A back form 2 might register as back up forward 2 (or some combination thereof), thus making you perform a jumping punch rather than executing your special move.
The Dualshock 4 is by far the better of the two for fighting games, since the DPad is right at your thumb for precise controls, and even if you want to use the analog for inputs, it's not as awkwardly placed as the DPad on the Xbox One controller. The Dualshock 4, however, isn't as plug-and-play as the Xbox One controller. It will work fine for games that still use direct input, but if a game requires X-Input, you'll need to install additional software (ds4windows), then go through the configuration process.
The DS4 feels a lot more sturdy than the Xbox One controller, too, with a better heft and feel. The DS4 uses a rechargeable battery while the Xbox One requires a pair of AA batteries. The DS4 face buttons are very slightly bigger than the Xbox One controller. Think of the DS4 buttons as MNM's, while the Xbox One controller's buttons are like the round end of a jelly baby. For me, the DS4's buttons are more comfortable.
