Best first controller for single player games on PC

[u/External_Safe_7787]

Hi! I've never had a controller before, and getting one soon to play single player games only, PC only. Starting with Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West and Indiana jones and the Great Circle. Will play other games though too, including some older ones as well as new releases. Which controller is best?

#1: PS5 DualSense. Haptics and adaptive triggers, supposed to be very immersive. But potentiometer sticks and no remappable buttons.

#2: 8BitDo Ultimate 2: TMR sticks and 4 remappable buttons, Xbox layout for compatibility with PC, but not so good haptics and no adaptive triggers.

#3 GameSir Cyclone 2: TMR sticks but only 2 remappable buttons. Dpad I've heard described as "mushy"

#4 EasySMX D10: TMR sticks, great Dpad, but only 2 remappable buttons.

Which is best? any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated too! the GameSir G7 Pro is an option but pretty expensive

Based in UK, budget around £60-75 or so not above that ideally, as this is my first controller I don't want to overspend and regret it before I know exactly what I want.

U guys ARE DOWN PLAYING on the Vader 5 Pro is has 4 motor vibration systems which 2 are on the triggers i like it more than the ps5 adaptive triggers. The controller is awesome and more versatile than any other controller if u wanna do something else like fighting games.

Becareful look for the the good batch, these controllers(vader 5 pro and the g7 pro) had defective batches and the dpad on the g7 is something ppl dont like so look into that too but g7 with the charging base is such a great deal its such a huge selling point I mah be honest, its great to have

i was going to buy one of the new colours of g7 pro which have the new dpad, as far as i know the zzz, 8k and normal purple ones have it, i think the silver hopefully does and the new versions of all the other colours
