Best controller for PC?

[Substatic 420]

I don't know jack shit about controllers.  I don't use controller much but wanted to mess around with one in some games and they look kind of cool in a setup. 

 

So which is the best of the best currently available on PC? 

 

XBOX Series X? PS5? XBOX SX Elite? Something else?  Dunno.

All of them.  Literally.

 

Series X controller for PC native games, Xbox games (best all around controller for game support)

PS5 controller for PS games (games which feel better having d-pad as the standard method of movement (menu based games as well)

Switch Pro controller for whatever you want (my favorite standard controller since I did the d-pad mod)

any variety of 3rd party fight sticks for Fighters

any variety of 3rd party controllers for Emulation (I have Genesis, NES, SNES, Gamecube, and Wiimote controllers for emulation, or retro releases)

 

 

The choice is completely up to you.

I like the Dualsense best for playing games on my PC especially now that Steam allows for native PS5 controller support.

 

I still keep an Xbox controller for those stubborn or old games outside of Steam that don’t have Dualsense support.

Still sucks that to experience the full native feature set of the controller it has to be connected by USB.  Not that big of a deal since people are typically close to their PCs as they game.. but getting full support through wireless drivers would be better.

I agree. Would be much better if we had wireless drivers

Dualsense is best, but unfortunately it seems like advanced haptics only work with USB.
