If you’re on a console, you must’ve got a basic gaming controller packed with your console itself. If you’re on a PC, you may not even have that. But what you want a better gaming controller than the basic one provided with your console or want an edge over other players? What if you want the best gaming controller that is out there?

But why exactly do you need a gaming controller, especially if you’re on a PC?

Well, look no further. This guide will provide you with the best gaming controllers that can be bought with money. This will also cover a few pocket-friendly options if you’re just looking for a new way to play on your PC.

How to choose an ideal gaming controller?

1. Weight

If you’re opting for a controller, it’s certain that you’ll need to hold it for a long time. The ideal weight of a controller varies from person to person. But, to give you a rough sketch, if you like light controllers, opt for wired controllers and if you like heavy controllers, opt for wireless controller as they come with the additional weight of the batteries. Pro or elite controllers are a good option if you want to adjust the weight all the way to the grams, but that often comes at a cost.

2. Third Party Software

By default, windows support only Xbox Controllers and consoles support only first party controllers. Now, it’s not impossible to use a controller that is not supported on your system. All you need is a third party software. The degree of efficiency and ease of use varies from software to software. So if you’re opting for a third party controller, keep this

point in mind.

3. Connectivity

You need to keep an eye on the connectivity technology, especially if you’re buying a controller for PC. Wired connectivity may or may not translate into plug and play. But at least, you won’t have to worry about battery life. On the wireless side of things, the connectivity may be based off a dongle or bluetooth and the battery consumption will be proportionate.

4. Price

Price is the most important factor while picking up a controller. They range all the way from $10 to $250+. You need to figure out how much you’re willing to shed out and what you expect in return. In depth price study of each controller can be found below.

Best Gaming Controller

Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller

Pros

Cons

The Best Controller for PC

The Microsoft Xbox One wireless controller is one of the best controllers to ever come out of a factory. It’s the default controller of Xbox One and has native support for PC as Microsoft is integrating Xbox with Windows gaming. Any game that supports PC controller will be mapped to an Xbox One controller so you don’t need to worry about remapping it. Moreover, it offers Bluetooth connectivity for an easy connection with Laptops and tablets.

It’s chunky and feels solid in the hand. It’s rumble motors which are integrated into the trigger buttons provide an extra layer of immersion. You can get your hands on it for under $50 which makes it a heck of a good deal. However, as good as it is, it still uses old-style AA batteries which drain very quickly.

Pros

Cons

The best PS4 Pro Controller for E-Sports

The DualShock 4 (vanilla controller for PS4), though a good controller, is by far not the best especially if you’re looking to break into e-sports on your PS4. The overall design of the controller is inspired from that of an Xbox One controller which makes it way more ergonomic. It can be also used with PC.

It also slaps on an array of extra features onto the default PS4 controller such as removable joystick heads, soft-touch texture and internal weight compartment with 6 included weights. But by far the best feature is the 4 short cut buttons on the grip which enable you to press the Triangle, Circle, Cross and Square buttons without ever having to take your thumbs off the joysticks.

Xbox One Elite Controller

Pros

Cons

Xbox One Elite Controller being the best controller for Xbox One and also compatible with PC as well but only through USB.Xbox One Elite controller is basically the Xbox One with the added goodness of textured grips, interchangeable joysticks and D-pads and most importantly sturdy paddles at the back which enable you to press the A B X Y buttons without ever having to take your thumbs off the joysticks. An easy to use software to remap all the buttons is a cherry on the top.

AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired Controller

Pros

Cons

The best affordable gaming contoller (wired).

If you’re a PC gamer who’s never had a controller and just want to try out the feel of a gaming contoller, the AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired Controller is what you go with. It’s a wired controller built in shape similar to Xbox One’s vanilla controller.

It’s an affordable choice that you simply can’t go wrong with. It features ‘plug and play’ with Windows 8 and above the 9.8 feet wire will not fall short. Another feature that is not quite common in cheap controllers is the 3.5mm jack which you can use to plug-in headphones. The only downside of this gaming controller is the rather cheap built quality, something which is not surprising given the price.

Pros

Cons

The best affordable gaming controller (wireless)

The SteelSeries Stratus Bluetooth Controller is a great wireless gaming controller at an affordable price. You would buy this controller for all the same reasons that you’d opt for an AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired Controller, a cheap gaming controller that introduces you to the feel of playing a game with a controller with the added benefit of wirelessness.

It’s a sturdy piece of equipment. But there are a ton of cons hidden under that cheap price tag. For starters, it’s an old design that Logitech has not discontinued yet. The ergonomics of this make it uncomfortable to hold, especially for long hours.

Razer Wolverine Ultimate

Pros

Cons

The gaming controller with all the bells and whistles

If you’re looking for a controller with all the bells and whistles such a remappable buttons, interchangeable D-pads and joysticks and RGB lighting then look no further than the Razer Wolverine Ultimate. It is, as Razer named it, the ultimate controller.

The Razer Wolverine Ultimate is compatible with Xbox One and PC, unfortunate for PS4 players. It features an Automatic Hair-Trigger Mode with Trigger Stops and a quick control panel which you can use for things such as adjusting game volume, adjusting chat volume and muting mic, something which may prove quite helpful while playing multiplayer games.

Then there are all other sorts of things that you’ll find on a pro controller such as 6 Remappable Multi-Function Buttons joysticks and D-pad.

Wired PS4 Controller by Mayfan

Pros

Cons

A Budget controller for PS4

There is a serious lack of third party controllers for PS4 in the market. That lack is partly filled by the tons of colour variations of the DualShock 4 that sony offers and they are more often than not more expensive than the standard DualShock 4. But what if you just want an extra controller that you can hand out to your mates when they come over for a round of FIFA or Tekken, then the Wired PS4 Controller by Mayfan.

This is not, by any means, a replacement for your main controller for PS4. It’s made of cheap plastic and you’ll often have to press down really hear on the buttons. Moreover, there is no headphone jack or the light in front of the controller. But the fact that it is a wired controller means that you’ll never need to worry about the battery life.

Xbox 360 Controller

Pros

Cons

The Original King

The Xbox 360 Controller is the pioneer of the modern gaming controllers. The amazing thing about it is that it offers native connectivity with all windows and would not at all cost you a fortune. It’s comfortable to hold for long hours and the rubberised joysticks provide an extra edge of grip. I would not recommend you to go with the wireless version because it drains the AA batteries like a drunkard empties the third shot of vodka.

There are a few other downsides as well. The D-Pad, supposed to somehow mimic a stick, is all messed up. The triggers are small. The plastic feel of the controller will make it slippery if your hands sweat. An easy fix to this problem is installing a silicone grip on top. And then there is the battery hump at the back which is an utter inconvenience.

So that was our round-up of the best gaming controllers for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. We hope you found out just what you were looking for.
