What’s the go-to cheap controller for occasional gaming? Something around the £30 mark so hopefully someone will buy it for my birthday :D

I rarely get the time to game but feel like I might want to mix it up from all the shooters and try some easy racing games, Star Wars/Squadrons, maybe GTA5 etc.

Cheers.

What controller could possibly be worth £200? I take it, it had profiles and macros??

Annoyingly I have a wireless XB360 controller but it appears the only way to get that to work on windows is by buying a dongle - which I think is discontinued/unsupported now. I did ask on these forums a while ago.

In fact, I can’t remember if I sold my 360 or just packed it away :o

may be : "

Wireless Controller for Xbox 360, 2.4GHZ Game Joystick Controller Gamepad for Xbox 360 Slim Console, PC Windows 7/8/10, White (Included Receiver)" £20​

Brand: YCCSKY

theres a few recievers also listed for xbox.

i'd spend the money on a wired controller. but i'd go wireless probably with the offical when its on sale.

it was a budget i was looking up to, but yeh profiles /Macros but mostly wanted somthing unquie & with mechincal buttons but the gamesir G7 at 40 has that & has custom faceplates you can buy, its wired but i prefer that currently as gaming at 240HZ helps with input lag being wired

i like it has the mic mute button on the controller and some audio options inbuild for £50 it seems worth it
