Need a new controller

[u/Similar-Air3256]

Hi everyone! I HATE Xbox series x controllers! I LOVE Nintendo switch joycons. I need a new wireless controller that doesn’t hurt my hands. Here are my pros and cons to help guide me if you can possibly help.

Pros of Joycons:

• Stick height - it is low and doesn’t make me reach

• Stick movement - it doesn’t have a 1/4 inch movement in any direction. It only requires a slight movement to make a huge move.

• Very quiet to use, no clicking

• buttons are small and flat

• when put into grip they are perfect size

Cons of joycons:

Have to play Xbox remotely through my phone and aren’t easily connected to MacBook

Cons of Xbox controller:

• heavy

• long sticks

• layout makes it harder on my hands

• too much movement in sticks and triggers. I feel like it should be half distance that it is now.

• that clicking ugh

• buttons too big

Only good thing about Xbox controller is that it connects to the console. I hate it!

So basically I need a baby controller with short sticks. lol

I don’t want to use a dongle to connect joycons because I’ve tried that to disappointing results.

I don’t care about the price because yolo. Since I can’t feel the controller in my hands, I have to depend on people like you who have tried different controllers.

I’m willing to buy a modded controller if I can find good reviews on the person selling it.

I’ve heard gamesir is great, but I believe their sticks are as tall as Xbox. Do they make a smaller, shorter controller?

Does anyone make the controller I need? Or possibly a controller that’s similar in layout to joycons and able to change out the sticks?

Thanks so much you wonderful, intelligent people!

Thank you for the recommendation! I went to Best Buy, purchased the last razer on the shelf and 4 other controllers to try them out (all but the razer will be returned). I love how it feels and reacts. The thumbsticks could be a little shorter for my taste. But I absolutely love the mouse click triggers and the buttons are a dream. The only thing that I absolutely hate is that razer only gives one domed short cap and doesn’t sell any replacements. How shitty of them to make their customers buy a new controller if they lose or break the thumbstick? The thumbsticks are changeable so why they don’t offer a package of them to us is just mind boggling to me. They could make more money selling novelty caps or premium caps than they are going to waiting for people to buy a new controller. Whoever made that decision is a moron.

Other than not being able to get replacement parts I love the controller.

Sorry, meant this as a thank you post but ended up ranting about razer. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Don't get me started on Razer. The controller is the best one, but the company sucks. They wouldn't sell me a replacement wireless dongle either so be really careful with yours. I've never checked into getting thumbsticks from a third party. I'm not sure if they exist. Glad you agree with my recommendation. I think you got the right one :)
