this 2 in 1 xbox controller stomps the xbox elite series 2 controller...
The Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot is one of the wildest (and coolest) Xbox controllers I've ever used — really, it's two controllers in one. Its rotating button module seems gimmicky, but it is actually innovative; it feels good to hold and use, and the controls feel responsive in both wired and wireless modes. While its low polling rates hold it back on PC, I still highly recommend it for Xbox consoles. £93.20 at Amazon £94 at Amazon £119.99 at Currys £119.99 at very.co.uk
Pros
- Revolving modules for four extra buttons
- Giant range of responsive D-Pads, face buttons, triggers, and Hall-Effect joysticks.
- Wired (Xbox) and wireless (PC) with little-to-no latency.
- Simple command display for notifications and remapping buttons
- Comfortable ergonomic design
Cons
- High MSRP of $139.99 may be too steep
- Disappointing polling rate when used on PC
the thrustmaster eswap x2 h e is the best xbox controller the brand has ...
If you already own a Thrustmaster eSwap or eSwap X2 controller, then you don’t need to buy the Thrustmaster eSwap X2 H.E. It’s effectively identical to the eSwap X2, with the only major change being it includes a pair of the brand’s H.E.A.R.T. thumbsticks which are typically sold separately. It’s still a great controller and the one to purchase if you’re jumping into the Thrustmaster gamepad ecosystem for the first time, but I still lament the lack of wireless connectivity here, especially for the price. Check Amazon
Pros
- Sturdy Thrustmaster build quality
- Ideal for folks with larger hands
- Now includes Hall effect thumbsticks
- Same great level of customizability
Cons
- Virtually unchanged from the eSwap X2
- Still wired only; disappointing for the price
- Relatively bulky and heavy by typical controller standards
- D-pad can be a bit uncomfortable
hyperkin competitor review the 50 xbox controller that finally nails 2d ...
The Hyperkin Competitor is one of the best wired-only Xbox controllers I've ever held. It feels good to hold; its controls have excellent input response, and it feels so much more natural to play 2D games than with regular Xbox controllers. With a modest MSRP of $49.99, this is a must-buy for Xbox fans willing to try a non-traditional button layout. Give it a chance. £39.99 at Amazon
Pros
- Extremely comfy ergonomic design with a strong, hefty build
- Its face buttons, D-Pad, reprogrammable back-buttons, and Hall Effect sticks/triggers are all very responsive with no latency
- PlayStation-style button and stick layout makes playing 2D games feel so much better than other controllers with Xbox-style layouts
Cons
- It's a wired-only controller, so wireless controllers looking to avoid cable management will need to look elsewhere
- The PlayStation-style layout may be cumbersome for 3D games, depending on your controller preference
