Decent game controller?

Some of the new gamesirs have been a bit of a money grab, all these collab editions of the G7 Pro for example all costing £99 - Lol? Stargazer looks good but it misses any custom buttons as per G7 series, may not matter to those looking at a lower price controller though I guess.

Not a fan of the linearity of the new Stargazer though as per above video shows.


Do like this aesthetic of the new T7 Pro though:

Is there any consensus on what's the best Xbox pad replacement?

As in wireless, better switches and analog gubbins, but still at a reasonable price?
 
G7 Pro is my fav to date in terms of direct Xbox pad alternative, especially if gaming on PC as you get full mouse/keyboard mapping customisation.

I still have not had the steam controller email yet to order so that might change once that arrives.

If you don't like microswitch ABXY though then one of the models with membrane buttons would be a suitable alternative. I much prefer microswitch ABXY for how they feel and sound.

I'm quite tempted but it's quite pricey at £90.. does it come with a usb wireless dingle, or can it do Bluetooth?

(ill be using it on PC, I dont have a console).

G7 Pro comes with the charging stand, wireless dongle, bluetooth so yeah all supported. It is quite pricey too but it does have the overall nicest stick feel I have used for xbox layout pads I would say and they feel.

Cheaper option to the G7 Pro as @mrk said would be the Leadjoy Xeno Plus. Very good but only slightly cheaper. I have both, plus Tarantula and Steam Controller.
 
Be sure to install Gamesir Nexus off the Windows store, it allows you to fully customise everything and also apply new FW updates.
