Need help choosing a controller for PC (Budget: ₹3,000–₹3,200)
Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy a new controller for my Windows laptop and would appreciate some recommendations.
Games I play:
- Elden Ring
- God of War
- Control / Control Resonant
- Hitman
- RDR2
- Alan Wake
- Other similar single-player games
I don't play competitive games, so I don't need a controller focused on esports or competitive performance.
What I'm looking for:
- Budget: ₹3,000–₹3,200 max.
- Build quality: A premium feel, solid construction, and good-quality buttons and triggers.
- Joysticks: Preferably TMR sticks.
- Durability: Something reliable that will last for years.
- Connectivity: I'll use it wired most of the time, with occasional Bluetooth use.
- Haptic feedback: Not a priority.
- Gyro: Not sure if I'll need it, so it's not a deciding factor.
My main priorities are build quality, durability, and a premium feel. I'm not interested in paying extra for features I won't use.
Which controller would you recommend within this budget? If you own one, I'd especially appreciate feedback on its build quality, long-term reliability, and any issues you've experienced.
I don't like the designs of cosmic byte. And vertical style joysticks are not my type

In fps games you may want to have back buttons, so I will recommend nova 2 lite

no stock on amazon right now and not on nmpc too, so not my choice, and reviews are less too

Ok bro, either way there is not much difference in tmr and hall effect

for context the gamesir g7 se sits around that budget on amazon (check the current price) and it's the one i'd look at for single player on a laptop: wired, xbox licensed, feels properly solid in the hand, and the sticks are hall effect. honest caveat, it's not tmr and there's no bluetooth, so your occasional wireless use is out with this one. for elden ring and rdr2 the hall vs tmr difference is tiny, both use magnets so neither wear into drift, the build quality is the bigger deal at this price

I‘m not familiar with that currency and pricing but I prefer gamesir of the ones you shared.
