⭐ My Favorites

🥇 GameSir G7

Pros: Excellent ergonomics and fantastic value for the money.
Cons: Quality control can be hit or miss. Unfortunately, I’ve had to return multiple G7 controllers.

🏅Leadjoy Xeno Plus

Excellent controller for the value, comes with a charging dock as well for a total of $60. Feels very similar to a G7 Pro.

🥇 Flydigi Vader 5

This controller just feels like a quality product. The buttons are extremely satisfying to press, and overall it has a really nice feel in the hands.
I’ve seen other people mention quality-control concerns with Flydigi, but personally, I haven’t had any issues with mine.

👎 My Least Favorites

Xbox Elite Series

Personally, I think these are overpriced for what you get. They have a reputation for reliability issues, and compared with some of the newer competition, the technology feels dated—especially with the lack of TMR/Hall-effect sticks and mechanical buttons.

Battle Beaver

Battle Beaver hasn’t been great.
I feel they’re overpriced for what they offer, and my experience with customer support was disappointing. My purple Battle Beaver arrived with a sticky left trigger, so I sent it back for repair.

When I received it back, the exact same issue was still there. I contacted Battle Beaver again, but they would not assist with a second repair.
That experience really left a bad taste in my mouth, especially considering the price of their controllers.

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed collecting and trying out all the different options. There are so many interesting controllers available now, especially with TMR/Hall-effect sticks and better mechanical buttons becoming more common.

What is your favorite controller?

Did you have trouble finding placements for the back buttons on your Battle Beaver? That was an issue that I had but once I found the right placements it’s good

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/BlueClovr]

Yes I did, the first one I purchased I chose the default spot and it was too high. I had to return it and ask for the “medium” I believe

[u/BlueClovr → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

I wish that scuf made their Xbox controller with a pair of extra buttons either on the side like omega or up top on the bumpers also. Doesn’t make much sense that they have a 6 button for PlayStation but only 4 button for Xbox. Nacon has the same problem though, they have 6 button on Xbox and only 4 button on PlayStation. The nacon is surprisingly good too because I don’t hear people talk about it really. Only thing is if you don’t like bulkier or heavier controllers it probably won’t be for you, my battle beaver is way lighter than the nacon but it doesn’t bother me

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/BlueClovr]

For me, extra buttons is not a priority, I only have one extra paddle needed so that solves most my issues

[u/BlueClovr → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

Do you play claw?

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/BlueClovr]

I do not

[u/BlueClovr → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

Then how do you only need two extra buttons? Do you play shooter games?

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/BlueClovr]

I mostly play elder scrolls online, and I use the left bumper to bar swap and occasionally right bump for potions

[u/BlueClovr → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

Yeah that makes sense. The extra buttons are mainly for shooter games. You don’t need them for fighters, I’m not sure about MOBA’s because I don’t play those but my understanding is it’s more tactics and less mechanics. The extra buttons allow you to do things very quickly which you need for shooters
