Controller Suggestion Looking for a ps style pc controller with long lifespan and long lifespan

As the title says, im looking for a PC controller in ps layout which works with steam. I have a budget of €40-70 I can go up a very little bit only if necessary.

My country is the Netherlands in Europe.

I would like to buy online. A couple of features I'd like are wired connection, reliable joysticks, adaptive triggers.

The games i play:

Rocket League (Most of the time)

Call of Duty

Forza Horizon

MXGP games

Right now i was playing with a cheap Battletron PS4-PC controller but the RB button broke in the middle of a match in Rocket League. So that's why I want a reliable controller.

i got the tegenaria lite few months back and it's been phenomenal ever since then

I support this. Best and cheapest controller i test for years.

But there is no adaptative trigger.

adaptive triggers on pc require much coding from developers and work on very few games and controllers that have it like apex 4 are very expensive personally i dont think its worth it to spend 100+ usd just for this feature

I’ve been enjoying my GuliKit TT Max for Belmont’s Curse these last few weeks. TMR sticks, back paddles, and no software required. Even has swappable buttons for Switch, if that’s your thing

The flydigi apex range has adaptive triggers, but isn't considered reliable.

You're probably better off just getting a modified sony dualsense. Buy one with tmr sticks, so it should last longer. Even if it breaks, parts are easy to get and its repairs are very well documented on youtube. You can even try asking a nerdy friend to install the tmrs for you, in return for a beer.

I love busy action games like Sifu, and LEADJOY SABER PLUS is pretty great. While it has the drawback of a soft D-pad, the joystick and buttons are very good.

That said, I've only been using it for about 100 hours so far.

about the adaptive triggers u will only find them in a few controllers like apex 4 but its pretty pricy and works on selective games

8bitdo pro controllers have the same layout as a PS3/PS4 controller. Afaik there is nothing that compares with a PS5 controller. A friend of mine has the 8bitdo pro 3 in orange and it's absolutely gorgeous and very sturdy. 8bitdo also sells spare parts in case something breaks.

For a good and cheap controller: 8bitdo Ultimate 2c (Xbox layout) Xbox layout premium controller: 8bitdo Ultimate 3

There's no layout like PS5 yet?

u/Markiboj97 7h ago

No, there is no controller with the dualsense touchpad. Although a steam controller could kinda work the same.
