So long story short, im looking for a controller (Like this: steelseries.com/gaming-controllers/stratus-wireless ) For my windows laptop to play some basic games from the windows store (Dont hate!)  My Price range is less than 20 British pounds. I dont mind if its USB or Bluetooth. Thanks for the help! Even suggestions would be a great help as I dont have a clue on where to start!

Normally I'd suggest the Steam Controller, but you're not using Steam so... I guess the Xbox controller, since that's Microsoft's thing.

 

Why exactly are you using the Windows Store? I'm not hating, just curious.

-Because you actually care if it makes sense.
