Didn't think choosing "THE" controller for me was this hard 🥲 Reviews are not helping at all.

Context: Finally built a somewhat capable PC to run most games and I wanted to add a controller for my peripheral. First time having a controller btw.

IT'S BEEN WEEKS AND I CANNOT CHOOSE ONE 😭 Reddit and YouTube Reviews are not helping because half says this controller is sht but then the other half says that the same controller is immaculate 🫪 This is the most confusing community I've looked into. choosing PC Parts was not this stressful 🤣

IM GIVING IT ONE LAST CHANCE SO PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE or else I'll just stick with mouse and keyboard 🥲 for my sanity.

Priority Preferences

  1. Reliable DPAD - Will play rhythmic games so this is a must.

  2. TMR / High Quality HE Sticks

  3. Analog/Hair Trigger Switch

  4. Good for a long session, I want my arms and elbows to flare out a bit and not tuck on my sides while playing.

  5. Mechanical buttons / very good membrane

  6. Dock that makes sense - I am really considering cyclone 2 but the dock is ugly. You have to be careful when putting the controller or it'll slide.

Games to play

  1. (Main game for my partner) Rhythmic games - Project Diva Titles

  2. (Main games for me) Shooting Games - COD Titles, Apex Legends etc.

  3. Open world RPGs / Sandbox games

  4. Dead by Daylight and the likes

  5. Ryujin Emulator - Pokemon Titles & Anime Fighting games (demon slayer/Naruto/etc.)

PLEASEEEEE
