I’m looking for a set of gamepads to play local co-op games with my fiance. A while back I purchased an Xbox Elite controller expecting it to be sturdy since, it’s Microsoft’s premium controller targeted at both Xbox and PC. Shortly later, my bumper broke which appears to be because the bumpers are just a piece of plastic being bent over and over. It looks like they ported this same defect over to the Xbox Elite 2 controller without fixing it and at this point, I’m done.

I was looking at Sony controllers, I’m a little worried about there compatibility with PC (Windows and Linux) and also the fact that I have large hands.

Scuff also came up, but their prices are pretty high and IDkK how durable they are.

What do you suggest?

    its pricey but the dualsense edge is my favorite controller of all time.

    • symmetrical sticks are better for retro games (dpad position is more comfortable) and modern games (easier to claw grip the dpad to change items while moving for example).
    • back buttons are surprisingly useful for every genre. i have dodge bound to the same back button no matter what game or genre im playing.
    • hair triggers are great for soulslikes and other action games that dont require analog triggers.

      I probably would have tried it, but from all I’ve read, the battery life is garbage, so that’s a no from me dawg.
