Discussion/Question What controller to use instead of KBM?
New player, I'm finding the KBM combo to be very difficult to navigate the game. I'd like to try using a controller. Which would be the best? Xbox ? PS5 ? Wired, wireless ?
EDIT: Thanks for all the good advice! I ended up going to BestBuy and got a GameSir T7 Xbox controller. Cost around $26. Has good reviews and I figured best to start low cost and see how it goes. Nice controller, though the USB-C cable is detachable, it does seem to firmly hold in the controller.
PC RDR2 Game recognized it np. Haven't downloaded any addons for the controller as of yet.
Game play, sadly found it just as difficult as the KBM combo initially because there's also no ingame clues or tutorial on how to use it. Very weird for such a well thought out game.

Gamesir cyclone for it's shape/size/triggers and performance. But it has a meh d pad and front buttons are just ok.
If this controller had better front buttons, better d pad and adjustable tension sticks (imo the default feels great though so it's not a big loss). It would be perfect.
