You at home—put down that PlayStation controller, put down that Xbox controller. In this video, we’re showing you our team’s top 5 gamer picks for PC controllers under $60. The whole idea is “for gamers by gamers”: each of us grabbed a controller we’d actually use at home, then we ran through the features fast but thorough so you can figure out what’s best for your setup. The only rules were simple: $60 or less, and it has to work on PC. We cover everything from the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 with TMR sticks (yeah—better than Hall Effect in basically every way besides cost) and that super clean dock/dongle setup, to EasySMX options like the D10 and X20 that bring 1K polling, tri-mode connectivity, docks, and switchable trigger modes. We also threw in a PS5-style third-party option (VioraTech/Newevo) with Hall Effect sticks and a working touchpad on PC, plus the Flydigi Vader 5S for people who don’t mind wired and want a ridiculous amount of extra buttons and adjustable stick tension. The takeaway: you don’t need to spend $100+ to get premium controller features on PC.
