A lot of it was stuff I needed and was putting off. Including my one big purchase, a phone. But I want to buy one. last. thing.

I need a new controller for my PC. My DS4 is about tuckered out, and my steam controller is only good with some games

I use a Logitech F310. It's been pretty solid. About $20.

i bought the xbox elite series 2 last summer which is great for any game where you can use the paddles, and i recently bought a dual sense because the dpad is really good for 2-d platformers and metroidvanias which i play lots of

why not get another ds4?

i personally couldn't move away from mine now. i'd be such a scrub for like a week.

oh crud that's right, these things are gonna be harder to find eventually. god damn it. moving on from the ds3 was a recent thing for me as well.

now when you say paddles, what does that refer to on a controller? also just realized I've never seen a ps5 controller idt. Do those allegedly-cool-vibratey triggers work on PC as well?

Xbox Elite controller seems like a good choice. I don't game on PC but it's the best console controller ever made imo.

they're removable paddles that you can assign to whatever buttons you want

the vibrations for the ps5 could work on PC if devs actually develop for it but I doubt they will

Its $180 on the MS store but that is over your price range. I'd just wait on a sale tbh unless you desperately need something now. Just get a 360 controller in the mean time lol

Gotcha. I think you technically can use a ps4 controller wirelessly on pc but it takes a bit of work. I personally haven't done it.
yeah that's what im currently doing

Oh cool so you can help me figure out how to set up mine too (jk)
no prob, I'll tell you exactly what I did

  • download ds4windows
  • get a bluetooth usb dongle (if your comp doesnt already have bluetooth. i got one for $7 online)
  • add your controller via the windows bluetooth device page. click "add device" or w/e, then put your controller in pairing mode by holding the ps button + share button til the light starts blinking
  • comp should now recognize the controller
  • ds4windows makes all games treat it as an xbox controller, greatly increasing the amount of games that support a dualshock 4

I bought a Dual Sense for $40 at a Gamestop that was going out of business a couple of days ago. It will have pretty much all of the functionality of an Xbox controller with the potential for additonal features down the line if PC games and/or modders start to take advantage of its capabilities.

Honestly my afterglow 360 controller is one of the best I've ever used. For what it's worth, it's made it through all 3 dark souls games multiple times and a few hundred hours of monster hunter. I've easily got 1000+ hours out of this thing and there's not a single thing wrong with it

The PS5's controller. It has a bunch of extra features like a gyroscope and accelerometer along with an advanced haptic feedback rumble. It still has basically all of the functions an Xbox controller has, but hopefully PC games will be able to support the other features soon. It's not quite as plug and play as an Xbox controller is at the moment, but it does have official Steam support.

That's for GC controllers

Magic-S (PS4/PC), Magic-NS (Switch/PC), or Magic-S Pro(Switch/PS4/PC) take pretty much any wired and wireless controller so you're not limited to just a Switch Pro on them

tempting but i really hate wires man. so tempting. the big draw for the elite controller is that it's 100% customizable and mappable, right?

Literally just plug it in and enable the configuration on Steam and you're ready to play

Xbox One controllers are the best around as far as I'm concerned, but 360 are still really good and probably cheaper.
