dedicated controller lying around\u2014even better if it has wireless connectivity for untethered play. Controllers are ideal for third-person and sidescrolling games, and can offer unique advantages in some competitive titles (such as\u00a0<em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketleague.com\/\">Rocket League<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/home\">Fortnite<\/a><\/em>). But while there are loads of wireless controllers out there, these are the ones actually worth your money.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Table_of_Contents\"><\/span>Table of Contents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Wireless_Controller\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_whattolookforinawirelesscontroller\">What to Look for in a Wireless Controller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few things to keep in mind when comparing wireless controllers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Layout:\u00a0<\/strong>There are numerous controller layouts out there, and they can change everything from the order of the buttons to the location of the joysticks. You likely already have your preferences when it comes to layout, but we\u2019ll also <span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">mention\u00a0<\/span>any major alterations certain controllers may have compared to the rest of the pack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery:\u00a0<\/strong>When you\u2019re talking about any wireless device, battery life is a huge concern. Some controllers depend on removable batteries, while others use rechargeables. Regardless of which you prefer, they should last at least a few gaming sessions before needing to be swapped out or charged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DirectInput vs. XInput:\u00a0<\/strong>These are the two primary APIs used in Windows to recognize controllers. XInput is the more modern API, which is much more widely supported in PC games and what most controllers designed for PC use. However, when it comes to controllers designed for consoles, such as the DualSense which we\u2019ll discuss later, they\u2019re still recognized as DirectInput. In order to get DirectInput controllers working properly in all games, you\u2019ll need a program to switch the input from DirectInput to XInput. The easiest way to do this is through Steam, as its\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/234427\/how-to-remap-buttons-on-your-steam-controller\/\">controller configuration settings<\/a>\u00a0can take care of all this for you with just a few clicks\u2014it can also<span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">\u00a0get more specialized features like gyro sensors working<\/span>. This is the method we recommend for most players because you\u2019re likely buying most of your games through Steam anyway, and you can use this in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/179370\/how-to-add-non-steam-games-to-steam-and-apply-custom-icons\/\">non-Steam games as well<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extra Features:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">While stuff like input remapping, extra buttons, and swappable joysticks aren\u2019t necessary features for a controller to have, any controller that does feature them is definitely receiving some bonus points<\/span><strong><span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">.<\/span> <\/strong>\u00a0This usually requires installing software for the controller, which we\u2019ll be sure to mention and link to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectivity:\u00a0<\/strong>When it comes time to connect your new controller to your PC, there are two main methods: Bluetooth or a wireless adapter. Both work fine, just depends on what the controller supports\u2014but adapters, generally speaking, provide more stability and lower response times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straightforward_Xbox_Wireless_Controller\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_straightfoward\">Straightforward: Xbox Wireless Controller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/fb05fbdb6dee7afdbe6be2a3e3dbe7cc\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/f3ccdd27-5.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Static Blue&quot; Xbox Wireless Controller \" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Xbox controllers have always been the \u201cdefault\u201d PC controller, and the latest model aims to continue that legacy. While the Xbox Wireless Controller lacks a unique design, extravagant features, or a cool name, it makes up for that by handling the basics of a controller exceedingly well. It\u2019s comfortable, the inputs feel nice to play with, and it even comes in a few slick-looking colors. On top of that, Xbox controllers are extremely easy to connect to Windows machines, and you can remap inputs through the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fxbox-accessories%2F9nblggh30xj3%3Factivetab%3Dpivot%3Aoverviewtab&amp;key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482\">Xbox Accessories app<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox controller runs off of two AA batteries lasting for around 30 hours, but you can circumvent this with either the official <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.xbox.com%2Fen-US%2Faccessories%2Fbatteries-chargers%2Fplay-and-charge-kit&amp;key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482\">rechargeable battery pack<\/a> from Microsoft, or third-party offerings such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PowerA-Dual-Charging-Station-Xbox-x\/dp\/B08J8458GS\/ref=?tag=rgm021a-20\">PowerA\u2019s charging stand<\/a>.

However, stuff like enhanced rumble or adaptive triggers doesn\u2019t translate to PC well, limiting the additional features to just gyro controls.

Definitely more finicky than the Xbox controller, but the excellent design of the DualSense makes it all worth it. You can also expect the rechargeable battery to last 5-12 hours on a full charge.

It connects through standard Bluetooth, but it does rely on DirectInput instead of Xinput, so running it through <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/234427\/how-to-remap-buttons-on-your-steam-controller\/\">Steam\u2019s controller configurator<\/a> is highly recommended\u2014especially because it gets the gyro controls functioning.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Fighting_Game_Fans_8Bitdo_Arcade_Stick\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_forfightinggamefans\">For Fighting Game Fans: 8Bitdo Arcade Stick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71415 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/46e75cadbb1f158d386d2c762fa75843\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/18e29998-3.jpg\" alt=\"8Bitdo Arcade Stick controller\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"8Bitdo\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">8Bitdo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Traditional fighting games are always best played in an arcade, so 8Bitdo has brought a slice of that home with its Arcade Stick. This abnormal controller mimics the design of arcade cabinets excellently and has plenty of buttons for mapping all the inputs, too. You can also open up 8Bitdo\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.8bitdo.com\/ultimate-software.html\">\u201cUltimate\u201d software<\/a> to create macros and remap inputs, but changing the inputs doesn\u2019t just alter it on a software level\u00a0. Each button has an LED label next to tell you what it does, and that will change accordingly as you remap inputs. While the Arcade Stick is primarily designed for fighting games, it also works fantastically with any classic arcade games or even modern titles which take on similar genres.<\/p>\n<p>The Arcade Stick connects via Bluetooth or the included wireless adapter and will last 30-40 hours on a full charge. And for those interested in modding, you\u2019ll be happy to hear that 8Bitdo designed this controller to be compatible with any 30mm\/24mm arcade buttons and most arcade sticks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
