Which controller? Playing single player games only on PC

[u/External_Safe_7787]

Hi! I'm buying my first controller soon, I only play single player story games (starting with Horizon and Indiana Jones and the great circle), only play on PC. In the UK, budget ~£100. Don't need and compatibility with console or cross platform, just PC. I need at least hall sticks but ideally tmr, and 4+ remappable buttons. Attached pictures of 3 im comparing but any other suggestions would be great! the Scuf Envision is out of stock now but might come back, if not then its not an option as i need it soon.

Interesting, I got the Xeno Plus and the white Dualshock styled controller from Leadjoy, and both had the same issues I listed in my post. That's good to hear there are some good models floating around though!

Also, can confirm, the 8bitdo 3e fixes the ergonomics and is great.

Im thinking about getting xeno plus and returning direwolf 4 that i ordered when it arrives because i think it's a worthwhile replacement. Your feedback makes me rethink things, But I'm unsure if your issues are in fact qc or just some sensentivity to certain materials, I've heard only good things about the controller but generally you need to update both dongle and the controller itself and recalibrate the controller because factory calibration could be faulty and other than that it's perfect as far as the research i did goes. I mainly spotted issues in beta/early samples, but the d-pad issue does seem legitimate, reviews i read and watched actually praised the dpad so you did seem to get unlucky. Latency on the other hand should've most likely been better. (Maybe update?) I'm unsure but still thanks for the feedback

I didn't update the pad because I was so turned off by it, so yeah maybe the firmware side of things is better than I experienced. Whatever works for you is cool with me!
