We once saw it dip to $24.99, and if that started happening with regularity, it could arguably give the PowerA Enhanced Wired a challenge for the crown of best budget controller. It costs $44.99 but is often discounted to $35.99. 8BitDo’s Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox and PC is a quality affordable gamepad with two rear buttons and software customization, though the lengthy USB cable is not detachable.If you’ve ever been jilted by stick drift on any of your Xbox controllers before, the GameSir G7 SE is well worth its $49.99 asking price to ease your concerns. The more interesting GameSir controller is the G7 SE, which is nearly the same as the G7 but with drift-free Hall effect thumbsticks.Its D-pad is a little too stiff, but what makes this gamepad unique is it comes with two magnetic face plates - one black, one white - that are primed for personalization with spray paint or markers. The GameSir G7 is an excellent wired controller with textured grip material feeling a tiny bit like a Scuf, clicky face buttons like a Razer, and two programmable rear buttons.
