The best first-party and third-party controllers tested.
The Microsoft controller is also well made, with responsive triggers and a large, comfortable shape.
It’s just a great controller all-around.
However, Microsoft’s pad does have its downsides.
The only minor inconvenience is that you oughta install third-party software to get the controller working on Windows.
Alternatively:Custom PS5 controllers are also available.
We also tested a~$200MegaModz DualSensewith a custom shell, mechanical buttons and interchangeable thumbsticks.
The ability to toggle between three levels of trigger sensitivity with the flip of a switch is also impressive.
There’s evensoftware like ReWASDthat lets you rebind the paddles to keyboard commands.
However, there are some restrictions here too.
There’s even a tournament mode with a 1000Hz polling rate for wired play on PC.
The G7 SE has some other great ideas too.
Its modest dimensions are also comfortable for those with smaller hands, which isn’t always a given.
There are 11 options here, including less cosmetic changes like alternate stick types.
There are plenty more options too.
It’s a very comprehensive assortment of features and options.
The build quality here is excellent too, with satisfyingly smooth triggers and slightly tactile face buttons.
The whole unit feels pleasantly robust, and the weight is well balanced too.
I think there’s enough here to justify the asking price!
As with earlier Eswap iterations, the build quality and responsiveness here are impressive given the modular design.
The buttons on this model are nice and clicky too.
We last saw this one at145or$170, but choose the links to check for yourself.
