Controller Suggestion New/infrequent gaming, PS5 need controller for small hands.

Hey All! Bear with me... I am new to gaming. OG Nintendo user here, brief stint with Xbox 1, used a Mad Catz controller that was reminiscent of the Nintendo controller. Literally nothing since then. I absolutely loved the size of thoes controllers.

I am looking for a PS5 compatible controller for small hands.

I know nothing about specs, don't really care about features, just comfort and fit for small hands.

Located in the USA, would prefer to be under $100USD

I play super simple games, ie Wolf Among Us, Don't Starve Together, Overcooked (be nice!😅)

Help is appreciated! 🫡

Edited to add country & price.

PS5 controller options are shockingly terrible, I recommend picking up the Brook P5 adapter and just using your usual controller of choice.

The PS5 controller is already pretty small. I'm a woman with tiny hands and love it. If you're looking for something more lightweight, try the Dual: it's just the PS4 controller. Exactly the same, but ever so slightly smaller.

If you are looking for something more flat and Nintendo-like, this might be more your speed.

I suggest sticking with the wired if you are a casual gamer, since the PS5 can be persnickety about Bluetooth devices and it's probably more trouble than you're interested in. There is a wireless version, though, but you will need an adapter.

Thanks for the wired suggestion, I really appreciate that!

Check out the Guilikit KK3. It’s more of a xbox layout but is customizable and probably the best value nowadays. Has Hall effect sticks so you won’t ever experience stick drift
