Grab some of our favorite controllers for PC gaming for less than the cost of a DualSense
Sony's PC game controllers are on sale.
Despite Sony's recent setbacks in the gaming market, the company's DualSense controller has gained popularity among PC gamers due to its unique features like adaptive triggers, which are also supported on PC. However, the DualSense controller comes at a premium price of $74, which may not be appealing to gamers who are not fans of Sony's recent decisions. Fortunately, there are several other excellent controllers available that offer similar or even improved features at a lower cost.
One such controller is the GameSir G7 Pro, which offers a pro-style design without the added weight that often comes with more advanced controllers. This controller features remappable buttons, including rear paddles, a charging dock, and a 2.4GHz wireless connection, making it compatible with various devices without the latency issues associated with Bluetooth.
Weighing in at just 7.1 ounces, it's significantly lighter than both the Xbox Elite Controller and the DualSense Edge, which typically weigh around 11.6 and 12.2 ounces respectively.
The GameSir G7 Pro also includes optical micro switches on the face buttons and D-pad, providing a more responsive feel compared to standard mechanical switches. Additionally, it offers Hall Effect analog triggers with an adjustable hair trigger setting via a slider on the back. Connectivity options include 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connections, while the Nexus App allows for full controller remapping and calibration.
Priced at $63.99, the GameSir G7 Pro is a more budget-friendly option compared to the DualSense and Xbox Elite controllers, making it an attractive choice for PC gamers looking for a high-quality, feature-rich controller at a lower price point.
