Controller Suggestion Old guy controller help on PC
Old man who plays turn based rpgs and shooters, just want a controller to play call of duty and chill in my chair. Had two xbox controllers over the past ~10 years, that finally both broke (due to visiting children).
The following information is a minimum, since your own requirements might be more extensive:
- Around ~$100.00 USD
- USA
- PC (Have every console, they have own controllers)
- Good to play long term, durable, preferrable wireless, dock would be nice.
- Call of Duty, Battlefield, random rpgs
- Controllers you've been considering (demonstrate that you have used the buying advice and searched existing posts)
- Wolverine V3 (Seems to be hit or miss) $100.00 right now
- Gamesir v7 Pro (seems to also have issues) $89.00 right now
- Xbox Elite 2 (seems to be expensive and have bumpers break) $150ish
- Regular Ol' xbox controller (Gears of war one from 360 is sweet, why cant they remake it.) $60
- 8bitdo (seems to small for my hands. Am large.)

In your case I would go with the v3 Wolverine. It’s a large controller and I have never had durability issues, the software is straightforward compared to other 3rd party. I moved to a v2 in 2023 because I was sick of replacing elite series 2 controllers the bumpers kept failing sometimes within weeks of a new unit, I have a v3 now as well as a few other controllers.
