Just don't use an Xbox controller. They are trash for this game.
That's what I'm using (that's all I have) and I'll admit I'm struggling. Can you tell me what the problem is with the xbox controller, why it's bad for this game, and why a different controller would work better? I thought all controllers are basically interchangeable
I think the d-pad just kinda sucks. I played the first game with it and did ok, but on silksong it's not accurate enough. I got stuck on a couple bosses and could only beat them after I switched to a different controller.
Interesting. I never learned to use the d pad on a controller so I've been playing with the left stick. It's rather finnicky.
You really have to know what you are doing with the joystick where as dpad is should be very tactical and makes sure you know exactly what direction you want to go. I know i mess up the flower jumps on joystick from not going properly down but i also fully beat Hollow Knight on joystick except for the path of pain on dpad so if you have the muscle memory just keep working on it.
