The Fantech EOS Pro II is a budget-friendly third-party controller that I tested for real-world gaming, and it delivers a solid overall experience. I like the modern Xbox-inspired D-pad, the added macro buttons, and the extra features like vibration and gyro that make it feel more “complete” than the ultra-basic options.
Pros
+Modern Xbox-inspired D-pad that I actually ended up liking
+Hall triggers and Hall thumbsticks with TMR stick claim for reduced ghosting
+Tri-connectivity with a physical mode switch (Windows/Android/iOS/Switch)
+Macro buttons on the back plus vibration and gyro modules
+3.5mm headset jack support
Cons
-Dongle is only single 2.4GHz USB, which feels less flexible than Shooter 3’s setup
-Bluetooth is required for some modes (like Switch), which may add latency depending on device
-Button mapping/customization exists, but there’s no official software available yet
