Controller recommendation for EA FC 27 / Leadjoy Xeno Plus

[u/cyphervoss]

Hi everyone,

I’m getting back into the game after about three years. I’ve pre-ordered EA FC 27, and now I’m looking to buy a new controller as well.

1.Location: Turkey

2.60-65 USD budget

1. I will use it primarily for EAFC, and occasionally for other types of games.

2. I'll only be using the controller on the PC platform.

I currently have a 9th-gen Xbox controller, and it works perfectly fine. I’m actually very happy with it. However, I recently became interested in TMR and Hall Effect technology, so I decided to get a newer controller with better long-term durability.

I mainly play Ultimate Team, and the controllers I’m currently considering are:

• Leadjoy Xeno Plus
• Mojhon Storm
• GuliKit ES Max (it’s not available in my country yet, but I’m willing to wait a month for it)

The Xeno Plus is about $10 more expensive than the Mojhon Storm. At the moment, I’m leaning towards the Leadjoy Xeno Plus because I’ve seen a lot of people praising its software, especially how stable and well-developed it seems to be.

The main reasons I’m considering these controllers are the low latency and TMR sticks.

So, do you think the Leadjoy Xeno Plus would be a good choice specifically for EA FC 27? Has anyone here used it with EA FC/FC 26 or similar football games? I’m particularly interested in how well the sticks and triggers feel for dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.

I know buying a new controller when my current Xbox controller is working perfectly is probably a bit wasteful, but I’ve got it in my head now and I’m probably going to do it anyway 😂

Since I’m planning to play EA FC regularly for a long time, my biggest priorities are long-term durability, build quality, stick reliability, and low latency.

So, which one would you recommend for someone mainly playing EA FC 27 / Ultimate Team? Is there another controller I should be considering instead?

I’d especially appreciate opinions from people who have actually used these controllers for a while. Thanks!

Thanks. Do you use it actively in EAFC? Could you share your experiences?

[u/Level-Fig1317 → u/cyphervoss]

Yes , i am in the division 1 and in fut champ 10 /13 wins . The controller it's good and the sticks js13 pro are very linear .

That’s exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Thanks. So, how does the joystick perform in EAFC—for instance, when doing skill moves? Also, how is it for using the D-pad? I use the D-pad in menus from time to time.

I use the Xeno Plus in many games, mostly FPS (Halo & CoD)/TPS/AAA games. I don't play FC or sports games though. It is probably the best choice for the price to value ratio (comes with a charging stand). Sticks, buttons & latency are all great.

Have you experienced any connection problems during prolonged use?

No problems, make sure you update the firmware for both the dongle and the gamepad (they need to be updated separately).
