This controller retains a lot of what we loved about the original. Keeping it very comfortable overall design with texturized rubber grips makes you feel extremely great in your hands.
Much like the original, it boasts a vastly superior d-pad that you won't dread using in fighting games and platformers, taking cues from the Xbox One Elite Series controllers. You might have noticed a new button in the center of the controller; a much-requested Share button now lets you capture screenshots and gameplay footage without diving too much into the menus. And now it's practically standard fare for console transplants deterred by the learning curve mouse and keyboard gaming presents.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense has a "you have to touch it to believe it" quality thanks to its new haptic motors and "Adaptive" triggers, which can offer resistance under your finger.
Firing a bow can actually feel like firing a bow, for example. The rumble is also easily the best and most nuanced we've ever felt in a controller. It really is as good as people say. The bad news: the DualSense's most advanced features don't work in PC games yet, since games will need to be programmed to take advantage of them. But Steam already offers full support for the controller, so it's at least a breeze to plug in and use like any other pad.
It's a hair less comfortable than the Xbox Series X controller, and not as simple to use in non-Steam games, but if you prefer Sony's analog stick layout or love gyro aiming, this is the one to get.
Scuf doesn't mess around with its controllers, offering some of the best premium pads outside of Sony and Microsoft. And the Instinct Pro is the absolute best controller should you wish to eschew the two big bois of the console world. There are more customisation options on offer with the Instinct Pro than with pretty much any other pad you could name.
But did create a gloriously pink pad without the distraction of rumblepacks. The tough thing is that both Sony and Microsoft's controllers are just so good, and if you want something premium the Elite Series 2 absolutely ticks that box.
The fact the Instinct Pro makes that look like good value makes it a real tough sell. It is, though, a fantastic controller that feels great in the hand and is as responsive as you could wish for. It's just painfully pricey. Read our full Scuf Instinct Pro review. Razer's Wolverine Ultimate could very well be the best gamepad available today, save for one critical disqualifying factor: it can't connect to a PC wirelessly.
The Xbox-style gamepad offers many of the same luxury features as the Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller, like a swappable d-pad and customizable back paddles. It's also nearly the same price, which begs the question: why not just buy one of those instead? Well, it's not for everyone, but the Wolverine Ultimate does have its fair share of unique, downright enticing features. For starters, the face buttons—the ones labeled A, B, X, and Y—click like mouse buttons.
This seemingly minuscule detail makes a world of difference. It's like using nothing but membrane keyboards your whole life and then making a move to mechanical switches. So while the enclosed foot braided micro USB cable takes some getting used to, tactile button presses are a worthy trade-off. Of course, no Razer product would be complete without a healthy dose of Chroma, the three-headed green snake company's signature brand of RGB lighting.
However, rather than integrating it into the existing Synapse 3 app for Windows, Razer decided to develop an app specifically for Xbox One. So if you do plan on using this controller for your PC, bear in mind you'll need a separate app to configure it.
The short answer is yes. The slightly longer answer is that you might need to perform a little fiddling the first time you set it up—although after that it will just be a case of plugging it in. This might seem like an utterly offensive question to ask in the annals of PC Gamer, but it remains true that certain PC games are far better played with a controller than with the classic keyboard and mouse combo. But there are other titles, specifically those which were primarily designed for consoles whose control schemes are so unwieldy away from a pad that playing them any other way is a pain.
Permitting someone is willing to take a few minutes to remap the buttons, FF7 Remake is entirely manageable without a controller. That said, it is still slightly better with a controller. The combat is tailor-made for a controller's button layout, and it just feels "right. With enough practice, any person can master a control scheme; however, some require fewer hours.
Rocket League is fine with a keyboard and mouse or a controller, but most people tend to lean towards the latter due to the game's legacy as a console title. The controller is also superior for aerial play, which is a pretty big deal in Rocket League. When playing Monster Hunter World on PC, the best control option is dependent on a character's build. If playing as a ranged fighter, the keyboard and mouse are generally better since they provide more precise aiming. Conversely, the controller shines when utilizing a melee build, particularly when it comes to dishing out combos.
Monster Hunter started life on consoles, and this legacy influences World. These are games designed with controllers in mind, although Capcom did a good job of making the keyboard and mouse a valid alternative. Another case that is somewhat situational, Hades is better with a controller most of the time. Certain weapons Adamant Rail are much better with a keyboard and mouse, especially for those players who wish to remove auto-aim.
When not using ranged weapons in Hades , a controller is the most reliable way to go. Movement and reflexes are critical for survival in Supergiant's game, and Zagreus' odds go up when utilizing a controller. Luckily, Hades is awesome with either control method. Playing Strider with a keyboard and mouse just feels weird. There's no other way to describe it. This side-scrolling action platformer was built head to toe on the premise of the classic Capcom arcade title, and it definitely shows up in the gameplay.
Core fundamentals are still at play, and that means using a controller to enjoy them. With a keyboard and mouse, too many things can go wrong too quickly. It's best to stick to a controller where reflex and muscle memory are able to keep up with what's happening on screen.
More often than not, platformers shine the brightest when joysticks are involved. It doesn't matter if it is a 2d or 3d platformer, a game from this genre should ideally be played with a controller.
Sonic Generations is a prime example of the importance of controllers. While the game is just about playable with a keyboard and mouse, the experience is nowhere near as enjoyable. Sonic Generations is harder on a keyboard and mouse, leading to more mistakes to be made that hamper Sonic's speed. Just pick up a controller to keep around for whenever it is time to play a platformer. While playing the Arkham games with a keyboard and mouse is possible and perfectly fine , it does fall short of a controller in a few key areas.
The game relies heavily on auto-targeting mechanics which makes controllers a natural fit for the gameplay, but that's not all. Where a controller truly shines is during combat sequences. The free-flowing fighting system relies on memory and reflexes best served by the close-knit components of a controller.
It's a bit harder to pull off complex and elongated combos with a keyboard and mouse. The fast-paced nature of Lords of Shadow means that it's better suited to gamepad control as opposed to a keyboard and mouse.
