It can also be made into a wired controller by attaching a Micro USB cable, giving you less latency, perfect for sports or fighting games. Two AA batteries can easily last for weeks, compared to the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4, which must be charged regularly. It’s certainly simple, but the standard Xbox One Wireless Controller is a workhorse. The bumpers/ shoulder buttons on the top have been improved since the first version of the controller was released, making them easier to press, and the triggers are wide enough for hands of any size to pull them. The basic layout of the controller is relatively similar to the Xbox 360 controller, with offset analog sticks that work perfectly for shooters, sports games, and everything in between. This Xbox controller isn't fancy, but it doesn't need to be.

The recommendations above present better alternatives unless you really want to use a controller with an Android phone - which, frankly, you can do with a standard Xbox controller and a cheap phone clip.The standard controller that comes with every Xbox One console also happens to be one of the best you can get for the system. While the latter is noteworthy for being the first third-party wireless Xbox controller, neither made the cut due to high costs and niche use cases. I also tested the Turtle Beach Recon Cloud and PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra.Thankfully it comes with a display stand, as it’s more of a collector piece. It’s just not great to use for modern games. This reissue of the original Xbox pad is a love letter to the salad days of 2001. One of the dumbest yet most endearing controllers is the Hyperkin Duke.It’s also one of the smaller options around, though the ergonomics may feel hit or miss depending on your hand size.

The Nacon Pro Compact Controller has some of the Revolution X’s excellent software customization at a much lower price.Unlike most kid-centric gamepads, it looks just like a full-size model, and unlike our budget pick from PowerA above, this one ditches Micro USB for USB-C (hallelujah!). PowerA’s Nano Enhanced Wired Controller is an adorably smol guy for people with tinier hands or children.It also offers a lot of software customization at an affordable price, but its shoulder buttons are a bit stiff. Briefly mentioned above, the Horipad Pro has one of the best D-pads around.It has more customizable buttons than any other controller (six total), though their positioning requires reaching, and it’s a bit pricey.

Razer’s Wolverine V2 Chroma is a feast for the ears and eyes, thanks to very clicky buttons and a strip of RGB lighting along the grips.It’s a good value, especially if you find it on sale for as low as $29.99, maintaining some of the best features of the Recon for cheaper. Turtle Beach’s React-R is a stripped-down Recon that maintains Superhuman Hearing and rear buttons but omits EQ presets, mic monitoring, and Pro-Aim for a lower $39.99 price.We once saw it dip to $24.99, and if that started happening with regularity, it could arguably give the PowerA Enhanced Wired a challenge for the crown of best budget controller. It costs $44.99 but is often discounted to $35.99. 8BitDo’s Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox and PC is a quality affordable gamepad with two rear buttons and software customization, though the lengthy USB cable is not detachable.Its D-pad is a little too stiff, but what makes this gamepad unique is it comes with two magnetic face plates - one black, one white - that are primed for personalization with spray paint or markers. The GameSir G7 is an excellent wired controller with textured grip material feeling a tiny bit like a Scuf, clicky face buttons like a Razer and two programmable rear buttons.
