Looking for budget game controller for Windows. Something that I can use for FIFA/EA FC.
Always played these on the Playstation but looking at something for the PC for very occasional and casual gameplay
how much is your budget? wired/wireless?

The cheaper the better. Like under 1500 I guess. Don’t care too much about wired or wireless at the moment.
I’d suggest taking a look at the Evofox Elite X (Wired):

Comes with a detachable cable and analog triggers (comes in handy when playing racing games). Build is decent and would suggest to stay away from the wireless variant because of its unreliability.
Also, if you are up for used ones, then you can grab the Dualshock 4 for around 2.6K INR:
(would work like any other [Bluetooth controller](’

I would recommend just getting the Redgear wired controller. These things may feel a bit cheap, but they last, and are extremely abuse-friendly. I have one which is 7 years old, and has been dropped/raged against multiple times, and works without a sweat. For the price, it’s a no-brainer.

can vouch for it, thing’s gone through a lot and still going strong.
had issues with the stick and right shoulder button but the problem went away itself 
only negative point(aside from cheaper quality ): no type c charging 
+1 for that. I had the wireless one, and it lasted 7 years before joystick drift became too much of an issue. I did open it up, and also switched the joysticks. That was okay for some time, but then both of them started to have drift. Couldn’t find anything else to replace them with, so just gave them away to some football players in our dorm haha
After that, I currently have Cosmic Byte Ares and it works great! It’s only been a year, though, so maybe too early to say anything?
One thing to note is that the market has pretty much gone to shit. Most cheaper controllers these days don’t have analogue trigger buttons, and that SUCKS for anything non-FPS. I just hate them. I specifically chose the CB Ares since everything else in that price range had on-off trigger buttons.
I would suggest [Evofox elite x](’
). It has extra buttons to configure and vibration modes and good build quality
Guys, anything that is compatible with MacOS under 2k? I am not sure, I wanted to get a wired one from Ant Esports but they didn’t mention MacOS on their compatibility list. I don’t see why it doesn’t have to work if it’s wired?

You should checkout 8 BitDo controller from Banggood too. I comes around 3k and has support for Xinput. It’s biggest USP is hall effect Joy Sticks.

Strangely enough these readgear, cosmic byte ones last longer than expensive ps5 and xbox lol
CB Blitz, has hall effect sticks.
Yup, the one i bought 12 years ago still works.

The xbox 360 wired one is the best of the lot. Still works flawlessly.
PS4 and PS5 controllers are the worst of them.

+1. Specifically, the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C. Even LTT liked it.
