Any forum members here using older controllers on PC? What is your take on the cost of newer?

I recently picked up a Robot White XBOX One S/X revision controller with the Wireless dongle and play / charge kit totaling 153 Euro which to me is a bit high in cost. But I do truly think it is an upgrade over the official XBOX 360 controller.

I use a DS4 (PlayStation 4 controller) it's Bluetooth, so it's easy to connect. the only downside I have is the need for an mapping program like DS4Windows. 
it's center pad acts as a mouse, which is nice. i just charge it via a USB cable at my desk, so no need for an expensive controller dock.

Sure, I don't get the sweet rear paddles, but it's still worthwhile to me, and I don't think it's worth buying a new controller just for my PC. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I have an old logicech wired xbox style controller.  was very cheap.

 

I want to like 8bitDO.  Their looks/feel are great.  Their products are trash.  Ended up returning a brand new controller because it firmware-level broke while trying to get it to properly pair/control with my smartphone.  And when I say "firmware-level" I mean I never flashed it or changed any software.  It stopped functioning altogether and could not even be factory hard-reset.  And then came to find out this was a known flaw on the SN30Pro.

 

Maybe you'll have better luck on PC.  YMMV.  I'm never buying from them again.
