While the latter is noteworthy for being the first third-party wireless Xbox controller, neither made the cut due to high costs and niche use cases. I also tested the Turtle Beach Recon Cloud and PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra.Thankfully it comes with a display stand, as it’s more of a collector piece. It’s just not great to use for modern games. This reissue of the original Xbox pad is a love letter to the salad days of 2001. One of the dumbest yet most endearing controllers is the Hyperkin Duke.It’s also one of the smaller options around, though the ergonomics may feel hit or miss depending on your hand size. The Nacon Pro Compact Controller has some of the Revolution X’s excellent software customization at a much lower price.Unlike most kid-centric gamepads, it looks just like a full-size model, and unlike our budget pick from PowerA above, this one ditches Micro USB for USB-C (hallelujah!).

It costs $44.99 but is often discounted to $35.99. 8BitDo’s Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox and PC is a quality affordable gamepad with two rear buttons and software customization, though the lengthy USB cable is not detachable.Its D-pad is a little too stiff, but what makes this gamepad unique is it comes with two magnetic face plates - one black, one white - that are primed for personalization with spray paint or markers.
