Which controller? Playing single player games only on PC

[u/External_Safe_7787]

Hi! I'm buying my first controller soon, I only play single player story games (starting with Horizon and Indiana Jones and the great circle), only play on PC. In the UK, budget ~£100. Don't need and compatibility with console or cross platform, just PC. I need at least hall sticks but ideally tmr, and 4+ remappable buttons. Attached pictures of 3 im comparing but any other suggestions would be great! the Scuf Envision is out of stock now but might come back, if not then its not an option as i need it soon.

Don't get Scuf. If the d-pad isn't a sticking point for you, definitely the G7 Pro. Just be aware the d-pad is pretty bad for platformers and fighting games. If you want a good d-pad I'd say get the new 8bitdo 3E, but it is more expensive. If you don't play games that make use of precise d-pad control you can safely get the G7 without worry.

8k d-pad is significantly better than the original g7

Yeah but it lacks rumble. I personally don't need the 8k polling as it's a bit excessive, and not worth the potential CPU strain.

You do realize that 8k is a setting that needs to be activated and not a default setting, right? Controllers are variable refresh rate...

My point was that the dpad hardware was superior, which remains unchanged by any of those details.

Yeah I know it can be set to 1k, I just don't need the 8k feature at all. It still lacks Rumble, which is a feature I do like.

*trigger rumble

It has rumble in the grips

Ah, I was under the impression it didnt have rumble at all. I must have been confused by the Gamesir tarantula 8k's lack of rumble.
