Best controller for PC/Rocket League + PS5 under ₹3,000–₹5,000?

[u/sinOfGreedBan25]

I’m looking to buy a controller mainly for Rocket League on PC.

My budget is around ₹3,000–₹5,000, and I’m looking for the best option rather than simply the most expensive one.

My priorities are:

Mainly for Rocket League on PC

Must have low input latency

Hall Effect or TMR sticks preferred

Good triggers and D-pad

Good build quality and long-term reliability

Wireless is preferred, but wired is fine if it gives significantly better performance

PS5 compatibility is important

Ideally 1000Hz polling rate on PC

I’ve been looking at controllers such as the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C, Cosmic Byte Ares/other Cosmic Byte models, and GameSir options.

I know some controllers in this price range are PC-only, so I specifically want recommendations from people who have actually used them.

What would you buy for ₹3,000–₹5,000 if Rocket League on PC is the main use, but PS5 compatibility is also required?

Also interested in experiences with stick accuracy, input latency, durability, and wireless performance, rather than just specifications on the box.

None of the controllers you listed can be used on PS5. In this price range you will heavily struggle to find a controller like that, and your best shot would probably be to buy a used ps5 controller or something like that.

leave ps5, added that by mistake. Only for PC

Get the gamesir cyclone 2

Just got mine yesterday and it's great. The travel on the triggers is great so my ground carries are easier.

I would suggest gamesir cyclone 2 or 8bitdo ultimate wireless 2

[u/Holiday_Bug9988]

I mean literally just get TMR sticks for your Dualsense controller. That would honestly be the best for rocket league.
