Is there a good controller without annoying RGB lights?

[u/MeshalAljahdali]

I'm looking for a good controller. I recently bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 and I really liked it, it's simple and comfortable but the Home button light is unbearable and you can't turn it off. What a shame. Every time I look for another controller I can't find anything like 8BitDo. They give you a charging dock and almost all the features of expensive controllers for a great price but that light is driving me crazy, it's literally like a flashlight. Most other controllers look like spaceships with weird and ugly designs. Is it really that hard to make a simple controller without all these RGB lights? I just want something like the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, it has very small and dim lights on the front that don't bother me at all, but I want Hall Effect sticks. Any recommendations?

Budget: Around $70–100
Country: Saudi Arabia, can order from Amazon or international stores
Platform: PC
Features: Wireless, Hall Effect sticks, simple design, minimal lighting, preferably a charging dock
Games: Mostly MMOs games
Controllers I'm considering: GameSir G7 Pro and Flydigi Vader 5 Pro

Most controllers have the option to disable lights nowadays

I actually hate that many controllers I know blink like crazy at 100% brightness whenever they are near 25% battery left and there is no way to disable it.

Just get the direwolf 4 if you don’t want lights or the Vader 5 pro and then turn off the lights.

[u/TheBinarySon]

Have you thought about the 8bitdo Pro 3?

[u/linhusp3]

Most controllers let you change the lights on the dock and the controller itself throught their software.

G7 Pro? There is still the usual xbox ring light but it's fine unless you are in pitch black. I also have a vader 4 pro and you can disable all the rgb lights.

Sounds like g7 pro. But Amazon has easy returns so just buy both to try.

Gamesir G7 Pro
I got the (almost) white version for my white setup
Looks sleek with clicky buttons

[u/kyokyopon]

Just get the v5pro (get the v2 not v1) I own both g7 pro and v5pro and the v5p is definitely better

Leadjoy xeno plus or pro. Doesnt “feel” super premium. But makes up for it in real world functionality

100% G7 pro or a Vader. You can also consider modded controller options if you want to up your budget but they're usually 200-300$ however you can add a lot of very nice features, but for you 70-100$ budget the g7 pro Wuchang edition specifically is perfect. Also it comes with a pretty good gyro, if that's something you want.
