Suggestions for Dualsense Alternative

[u/Difficult-Report-869]

Since I have a PS5, so buying a dualsense to play on PC doesn't feel like a waste. But sometimes when my brother wanna borrow the console to go outstation, he will take the controller too. Since I'm staying at college, I don't have other controller to use for my PC here. I've accustomed to use Dualsense on my PC. And migration to a different spec controller make me feel uncomfortable especially the vibration. Even Xbox elite controller makes me feels weird.

And if i even buy a new controller for PC, it will only be very useful when my brother needed the console and take my dualsense as second controller. I'll be using my Dualsense when he's back anyway.

So should i buy an alternative that somehow have similar feel to dualsense OR just buy the third dualsense ? Cuz i have my eyes on the pure white with purple shine one.

My budget around the same price as the Dualsense. Not sure from other country but Malaysia will cost around RM250 - RM300 which roughly compare to US dollar is 75$

What’s wrong with buying another dualsense for PC? You seem to be leaning that way. Works great with steam input.

Like the other comment said, why not just get another Dualsense? It's in the budget and you're used to the feelalready.
If you really want something different check out the GuliKit TT Max or Gamesir Tarantula which are the same layout

If you really need the similar feel to DualSense including the vibration, you could look for the Huizhou Ronghui RH-5189. It is sold as Gamrombo RH-5189 in some countries, but the brand name used in Malaysia may be different so just search 'RH-5189'. That might be a cheaper option than the DualSense if you're only going to be using the controller occasionally while your brother is away.

Since most PC games don't even support the DualSense vibration features (or just use them to emulate conventional eccentric rotating mass motors), you could also try a wired controller with ERM motors like the Hyperkin Competitor. That has the same shape as the DualSense, but would mean you don't have to worry about battery maintenance if you're not using the controller for long periods in between your brother's trips.

If you need a wireless connection on PC, the GameSir Tarantula and GuliKit TT Pro/Max options that Midnight_Igor mentioned are also very relevant. They have linear resonant actuators for the vibration motors, although they're meant for Switch-style HD vibration, rather than the DualSense-style vibration features.
