The best controller for PC gaming

Need a break from keyboard and mouse? These are the best controllers for PC gaming in 2019.

I use the Xbox elite controller for my PC at the moment. Don't really have a favorite though.

That's awful. Does it even have bluetooth?

warriorcase2290d ago

?
Is there suppose to be an /s there?

Razzer2290d ago

It is not awful. It is an awesome controller, albeit expensive. No, it does not have bluetooth. You have to buy a USB adapter.

Personally I use an Xbox One controller for my PC. It's very comfy, and you get the rumble triggers in MS games like Forza.

The DS4 is also really great and comfy. Haven't had any issues with it so far.

I would love to use my Switch Pro Controller on PC, as I find it the most comfy, but the lack of analog triggers is an issue for many games.

Razzer2290d ago (Edited 2290d ago )

I prefer Xbox One controllers on PC. Primarily most games reference the Xbox letters versus the PS symbols. Also, I like the thumbsticks of the Xbox One controller. But I do not care for the later Xbox One controllers that include bluetooth. They feel cheap and don't have that nice rubberized backing that the originals had.

Xbox controllers.
Case closed.

I grew up on Playstation consoles, never truly got used to the offset thumbs ticks of Xbox. So no, it's not closed.

crazyCoconuts2290d ago

And with Steam you can enable the DS4 gyro for fine tuning aim which is an advantage over just thumbsticks. Xbox controller don't have gyros.

I prefer the DS4, but pc compatibility isn't the greatest, so I use a 360 controller.

That would be really nice. The Steam Controller was one of the most unique controllers out there. It wasn’t great for traditional gaming, but it worked very well for PC-focused games like RTS, 4X, or FPS.

I just hope they don’t assemble it in the US like the original. That caused serious issues with supply, warranty, and especially spare parts.

Its pretty neat once you get used to the layout. I have mine sync with my steam deck.

I never buy 3rd party controllers. They’re usually crappy or too expensive for what they offer

DarXyde477d ago

I feel like the age of crappy third party controllers ended. I might be wrong, but I only ever hear of the high end third party controllers now.

Either way, I feel like people should be able to buy and use these devices, even if they're bad quality.

Sure, it's Sony's box, but no company should do this unless it's some shady device-bricking controller.

Majors477d ago

Wait So Micro$oft gets away with it by disabling 3rd party controllers Whilst Sony gets a fine for only affecting them >?
