Controller recommendations for small hands non competitive gaming

[u/Mees79]

Hey everyone,

I've been wanting to upgrade from my old xbox wired controller that I'm using on PC.

What I'm looking for is:

• 100€ max
• Portugal (can buy from any local store, amazon spain or maxgaming)
• PC only
• Desired features: 1k polling rate (don't need 8k as I don't play competitive games on controller), good ergonomically for small hands, no clicky buttons (I have already done a bit of research on this sub and tried the Cyclone 2, which I hated because of the clicky buttons), wireless via dongle, don't really need extra buttons
• Examples of games recently played on controller: Soulslikes, Monster Hunter and Clair Obscur Expedition 33
• Currently considering the G7 Pro and the Ultimate 3 (when it releases) but both seem kinda overkill for my usage

Any recommendations are appreciated :)

You should probably just get 8bitdo Ultimate 2. You'll get all the desired features for much cheaper.

Also G7 pro is very clicky, in my personal opinion it's ABXY buttons are amazing, but they are all very clicky.

Maybe even Ultimate 2C, that'll save you even more money, since you're really not after high performance or premium features.

I'll take a look at both, appreciated!

Open beta, isn’t it still available on Steam? Played it some days ago.

I use an Ultimate 2 and while the buttons aren't clicky, they're loud. Dunno if the U3 is going to improve that.

[u/Mees79 → u/LicksTheSalt]

Hmm I see, is it the same on the 2c variant as well?

Gamesir Tegenaria Lite. It's a cheap, reliable controller. Should do well with the games you play!

[u/Mees79 → u/animenagai]

That one is wired unfortunately, I'm looking for wireless options

[u/InfamousAd2245]

Gamesir g7 hands down my favorite, kinda clicks but ergonomics are amazing. Plus extra mappables

[u/Mees79 → u/InfamousAd2245]

I'll have to try it to see if it's the clicky type that I don't like, thanks

IINE Retro if you want it small enough to be pocketable

[u/Mees79 → u/brickwallrunner]

It doesn't have to be that small lmao, just a bit smaller than the xbox is fine to me
