How to choose a PC controller?
Windows compatibility: Xbox controllers (wired or wireless) have native plug & play compatibility on Windows 10/11, ideal for beginners.
DualSense: adaptive triggers and haptic feedback from the PS5 controller work on PC in supported games (increasingly common).
Wired vs wireless: wired eliminates latency and battery management. Wireless is more comfortable for couch gaming.
Remappable buttons: high-end controllers (Razer, Scuf, Xbox Elite) let you customize paddles and buttons to your playstyle.
