Need a new controller for my PC to play rocket league. What's the best Xbox controller? Looking for something a bit more interesting than the stock Microsoft controller.

No question the Xbox Elite controller is the unequivocal best controller

but also insanely expensive. 

 

Most 3rd part controllers don't have the same quality as the 1st party microsoft ones and often feel cheap. question: why are you going for looks? when you are playing your game, you will not be looking at the controller. it will look cool on your desk, but you never actually see it while using it.

STUPID money, but I love the feel of it in my hand. It was a graduation present to myself

The standard Xbox controller is just boring. Something more interesting would be cool, and maybe there is something better

Yeah, expensive, but I am considering it...

Honestly, given the amount of money I burned through trying to find something reliable, it would have been cheaper to go to the top from the outset

What do you mean by boring? You can get official coloured editions. I've got one of the phantom editions myself. You can also get customized controllers that have extra buttons.

Get the standard controller if you don't want to shell out for the Elite Series 2, and buy a custom skin for it.

Just get a special edition official one?

I got a pair of PowerA enhanced xbox one controllers and they work great, 

They come with a long USB cable, and have two extra mapable buttons on the back of the controller.

It's pretty cheap at £25 a controller, or £20 for the standard one without the extra two buttons.
