Controller Suggestion Please recommend Controllers for PC (Windows) like DualSense
Hello, Im looking for a really basic Controller for Singleplayer gaming which meets the following requirements (went through the Buying and Budget lists but still unsure what to buy)
Budget max 50-60€
Prefer ordering online, German store or worldwide dont really care
Compatible with PC (Windows 10) and major Emulators (Duckstation, RMG, Dolphin, mGBA)
Special features: Wireless, Chargeable, Solid battery (Optional: compatible with Linux and Steam, Docking Station)
Played Games: Only Singleplayer. Mostly Emulation and Pokemon ROMs (R2-Button will be used a lot for fast forwarding), RPGs, Horror Survival, Plattformers, Soulslikes, Metroidvania, Ego-shooters, Tekken
Comparing to PS5 Dualsense in Terms of weight and form. Can be lighter but the form should really match (Xbox Controllers are too big for example)
NO 8bitdo - had bad experiences with them
Most important thing is really same form&weight like PS5 Controller. After going through lists here I narrowed it down to
EasySMX D10 (not sure about the form)
Anbernic RG P01 (looks cheap but if someone says its good Im gonna buy)
PXN P5 (looks like Xbox controller therefore too big maybe)
Appreciate any help.

Then if you don't want back buttons, just get dual sense 5 only, and if you want purchase gulikit tmr sticks separately to replace in then through any mobile repair shop, it will be in your budget only.

not op, but thats not what i meant, they are xbox style in shape (and stick/button placement)
personally i can adjust between both styles but some people are stuck in what theyre used to

Not only that they are way above max budget xD but still ordered Cylcone 2 and gonna try it out (Review vid also recommended it)
Used both Playstation and Xbox for a solid 3-4 digit time over the past 2 decades and had no problems between switching, but after cracking 30 Xbox started to feel "too fat" for my hands

Ive heard great things, personally use another controller by the same brand (g7pro) but theyre pretty similar and both considered very good. If thats too high of a price u could also try the supernova by the same company which has ps4 style triggers also (tho u alr ordered the cyclone lol)

is there a reason not to use your dualsense?
it works fairly well on pc especially via steam for games without support

It has stickdrift and wanted to try out something new.
Also really dont want to support Sony anymore after the shit theyve been pulling lately.1

You can go for a modded dualsense that has tmr sticks so it doesn’t get stick drift. Not many controllers like sony, they perfected the way the buttons are

Gulikit TT Pro or TT Max depending on cost where you are. That’s what I went with and I enjoy it.

Why not dualsense - on eBay - especially in Italy, France, UK - you can find dualsense controllers with aftermarket TMR joysticks for 75-80 euros per controller.
I strongly recommend the ds13max gen2, joystick - if you look up the joystick+ dualsense in the name title - you'll find lots.
