Walked into my local Poundland and found something that sent me down a mini rabbit hole. Part of a range of sets that promote a German supermarket, which somehow made its way to the UK.
Very sticker heavy, but found a fair bit of charm in it all to be honest. Plus there's a few unique pieces I wasn't expecting. Can't complain really for £1. Tempted to get another XD
Greetings fine people of r/Controller! I am but a humble casual looking for some advice. I've got this fairly old controller that I use for older PC games, and I find something about its shape that makes it really comfortable to use even for longer periods. However, as good as it is, it is in places showing it's age, as the left analog stick is gradually getting smoother and wearing down, and after some periods of use I find tiny black bits have come off and onto the socket. In addition to that, some modern games struggle to recognise its inputs (non-Steam ones, so remapping isn't easy). In the interest of future proofing, I thought I'd come to you experts for advice on finding, if possible, a modern replacement that is as similar in shape and size as possible. Any help/suggestions much appreciated. Thanks!
Stuff from the rules:
Budget: Not huge, to be honest. Probably £30-£40 tops (But I haven't bought a controller in yonks, so no clue what the going rate is. Happy to be corrected.)
Country: UK
Compatibility: PC
Desired features: As similar in shape and size as possible to the one pictured (+ 4x rear triggers instead of 2x, if possible)
Games: I tend to play a fair bit of retro/indie stuff due to current hardware limitations, but looking to future proof if I ever get an upgrade.
