While the latter is noteworthy for being the first third-party wireless Xbox controller, neither made the cut due to high costs and niche use cases. I also tested the Turtle Beach Recon Cloud and PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra.But hey, at least Hyperkin improved on the Xbox 360 controller’s awful D-pad and included some cool color-matched USB-C cables. The original 360 controller’s biggest innovation was its intuitive wireless system, which is sadly absent from this wired reincarnation. Unlike the Duke, the Hyperkin Xenon is a reissued gamepad that’s actually worth using, especially if you have an affinity for the mid-aughts Xbox 360 design.Thankfully it comes with a display stand, as it’s more of a collector piece. It’s just not great to use for modern games. This reissue of the original Xbox pad is a love letter to the salad days of 2001. One of the dumbest yet most endearing controllers is the Hyperkin Duke.It’s also one of the smaller options around, though the ergonomics may feel hit or miss depending on your hand size. The Nacon Pro Compact Controller has some of the Revolution X’s excellent software customization at a much lower price.Unlike most kid-centric gamepads, it looks just like a full-size model, and unlike our budget pick from PowerA above, this one ditches Micro USB for USB-C (hallelujah!). PowerA’s Nano Enhanced Wired Controller is an adorably smol guy for people with tinier hands or children.It also offers a lot of software customization at an affordable price, but its shoulder buttons are a bit stiff. Briefly mentioned above, the Horipad Pro has one of the best D-pads around.It has more customizable buttons than any other controller (six total), though their positioning requires reaching, and it’s a bit pricey. Razer’s Wolverine V2 Chroma is a feast for the ears and eyes, thanks to very clicky buttons and a strip of RGB lighting along the grips.It’s a good value, especially if you find it on sale for as low as $29.99, maintaining some of the best features of the Recon for cheaper. Turtle Beach’s React-R is a stripped-down Recon that maintains Superhuman Hearing and rear buttons but omits EQ presets, mic monitoring, and Pro-Aim for a lower $39.99 price.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.
