controllers with good switches/buttons?

atavax

While i am a PC user and use mouse and keyboard for most games. With some 2d games, controllers are preferred. The problem is the switches in every gaming controller i've used is a cheap piece of garbage. Are there any premium controllers that actually spent the resources to put high quality switches in for their buttons?

Xbox 360 are still the best controllers around imo.

You'd have to buy a controller and a wireless thingy though.

I have a friend who can highly recommend the Razer Sabertooth. Other than that, try controllershop.

I don't know how good the Xbone controller is, but Microsoft recently made a pc version of the controller.

why do so many good cases only come in black and white

Logitech F710 though I personally do not like the shape. I owned a razer onza the the past and the controller itself is pretty good, responsive and easy to use but the triggers are made pretty cheap, mine died within a year. The X360 controllers are also pretty good.

a wired 360 controller is still the best -  ~30$

 

or get an xbox one controller(uses a micro usb cable) - 60$

 

or razer sabertooth - 80$

Logitech f710 is excellent if you want wireless and a good d-pad. The battery life is amazing but also means its quite heavy. Dualshock with scarlet.crush drivers is also fantastic but you have to deal with PS icons.

I have this too and I concur with the battery life. Still rocking the same batteries when I bought it 3 months ago. It's a little heavy but that problem sort of fades because of the comfort.
