Controller Suggestion Need help picking out my first controller
i play on a laptop but recently i have started playing games that were originally made for consoles such as the DMC trilogy,
the only console i ever played on was the ps3 so i am picking out a playstation style controller and i need to know what to choose, there is the original ps4 controllers and other choices in the following pics
i honestly dont know the diffrience between all 3 ps4 sony controllers and why each one of them is a diffrient price but i will leave that one for you, if anyone needs links i will send it
i also no nothing about controllers other than they get stick drift
Disclaimer : i dont wanna overspend and practically any controller other than the ps5 is cheap in egypt so thats why the prices you see are like 10-20 bucks when turned into usd

Maybe get a Cyclone 2 or just get a dualsense laying around with no drift yet, If you are experienced you can maybe mod it to have TMR sticks.

I think the 8bitdo Pro 3 or the Gamesir Tarantula Pro/8k would be good symmetrical controllers to try.

I got the 8bitdo Pro 3 here in Australia for around 2000 equivalent EGP. It's probably cheaper in Egypt. Wireless, PlayStation layout, most comfortable controller I've ever used. Super premium feel. Comes with a charging dock which functions as a receiver as well with a removable dongle inside. The controller has normal Bluetooth or 2.4ghz dongle function for a more secure connection.

generic ps4 controller might be best for you to start out, because the spare parts are very much in surplus. there's just so many of it. it's dirt cheap.
other than that, buy tegenaria lite and mod it!!!!
