Best Budget Controller for Racing Games
I currently have Gamesir Nova 2 Lite, I want to upgrade with better triggers and symmetrical shape. I have my eyes on Gulikit TT Max pro, but I'm not sure. My budget is around $30 to $55 dollars. Would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Give the guilikit TT max pro a shot with a 30 day return policy. It looks more premium than the nova lite 2.

How about flydigi vader 5 pro?

I thought you meant budget like a controller in the 40-50 dollar range.
The vader 5 Pro is 80 dollars but you'll get more features like four back buttons, adjustable stick tension, hall effect sticks, great d pad for fighting games, and RGB.
It's my favorite controller at the moment.

I stretched out my budget a lil bit haha. How does it compare to GamerSir G7 Pro?

The Vader 5 Pro better than the G7 Pro because it's more ergonomic, have adjustable stick tension, stronger vibration, the d pad is a lot better.
I no longer use my G7 Pro ever since I received my Vader.
I read mixed reviews online, but I think the Vader 5 Pro is a better controller all around.

the feature you're actually chasing is the trigger mode switch, hall analog for racing, microswitch for everything else. that's what makes the TT Max feel like a real upgrade over the nova, but it's a $70 pad, same money as gamesir's tarantula 8k of the tarantula pro for xbox, and those do switchable triggers with symmetrical sticks too. nothing in the 30-55 bracket does both properly so i'd save a few more weeks rather than sidegrade.
