I have both controllers I use for emulation and yes the Xbox controller is loud, especially the stupid dpad which renders it useless for older games where as the ds5 is just perfect for that. However, I find the sticks much more comfortable and accurate on the Xbox so it’s the winner for ps1 and up. Even though I think the triggers are higher quality on the ds5, I think the Xbox wins there too simply because of the placement of each. All in all, the ds5 is a higher quality controller
