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.

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.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.
