Those of you who play console and don’t use the native Xbox or Ps controllers, what do you guys opt for?
I personally just use a default PS controller but god I would LOVE to use Xbox. Their controllers feel so much more comfortable, reactive, and durable. I swear I could catapult an Xbox controller off the Empire State Building and pick it up and drop 12 kills in a ranked right after but I drop my PS controller 3 feet on the floor and it’s like a Lego Star Wars character dying
I have tried every non Xbox Elite controller under the sun that has two back buttons. I much prefer the ergonomics and feeling of two back buttons flush with the controller rather than finicky paddles.
I currently use the new HyperX Clutch Gladiate but have tried PowerA controllers, Turtle Beach, and GameSir. My favorites have been the HyperX, then the new PowerA Fusion Pro 3, then the Turtle Beach Recon, then the PowerA Spectra Infinity, and then way at the bottom the GameSir. That controller had horrible ergonomics
Ok, so based on your experience, which ones have the best thumbsticks? Like the tightest, most responsive with the least amount of play?
The crazy thing is the HyperX has had the smoothest sticks with not too much play and they have lasted the longest too. Have had this controller for quite some time now and still no drift.
2nd best sticks have been the PowerA Spectra and PowerA Fusion Pro 3.
Disclaimer: these are all wired controllers cause Xbox’s wireless tech is proprietary. So these are officially licensed but the only 3rd party controller in existence that has been allowed to do wireless so far is Scuf. Personally I have learned to love wired controllers because I never have to change batteries ever again.
