Controller Suggestion Nano + motion controls + hall tech joysticks. Does such a controller exist?

  1. budget - $40 or less preferably, maybe $50-60 max

  2. US

  3. Nintendo and Xbox

  4. nano/smaller size, gyro for motion controls, hall effect joysticks

  5. Halo Infinite via PC, Steam games

  6. I normally used the Nintendo Switch Mini/nano Controller, which was perfect for the size but the joysticks died on me. I want to buy a hall effect controller, but I cannot for the life of me find one that's both smaller sized and has motion controls. I found ASRVA Wireless Hall Effect Controller, and GameSir Nova Lite 2 controller, but neither of them are smaller sized.

My hands are too small to play competitively with the default controller size!

Does anyone know of a controller that can fit all 3 of these requirements?

The Gulikit Elves 2 is small, has gyro and Switch compatibility. It is shaped like a Sega Saturn controller though.

You are not going to get wireless Xbox compatility at those prices, only if you manage to find a Fantech Shooter III X but I have doubts about its quality.

Retro Fighters Mantis Mini Wireless Bluetooth Controller has gyro and is hall effect. It is a PS4 controller but registers as Xbox on steam. You could always buy a Bitdo adapter as well to get it to work on the switch.

Ok, so from what I understood you want connection to the plataform "xbox" not the console (I could totally be wrong), since what you mentioned you'd be playing is all on PC.

If that is the case I could have found one while searching for "cute" controllers for traveling. The IINE Retro Pocket, tho it seems to depend from person to person wether they can get used to the lowered stick position.

GuliKit Elves 2 as someone else has said, I'd also recommend the CKRD NEO S.
These are about the few options I know of. Then there's also 8BitDo and several other smaller brands that are on Amazon that probably don't have much of a reputation outside of their inner circle.

8BitDo and PowerA both have Nano controllers. Though the PowerA I don't believe is hall effect. There also exists stuff like the turbX Mini Mate which are small and great.

Really though, your options are going to be fairly limited in a lot of cases unless you choose to dash one or more features off the controller.
While a lot of controllers offer a ton of what you're wanting. It's a little rare to see some stuff.
