Gaming is more popular than ever at the moment, and it seems that technology is advanced quicker than ever before, meaning that gamers can immerse themselves deeper into their gaming experience than ever. The controller that you use for gaming will make a big difference to your overall experience, and we have put together a list of the top five most popular gaming controllers that you might want to get your hands on this year.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

If you’re looking for a luxury controller, then buying this one could be the best decision you ever made. There are so many customisation options that you can really make the game your own, and the controller is Bluetooth enabled, making connection even easier than ever. This comes with a carry case that doubles as a charger, ensuring that you will always know your controller is charged and ready for use.

Sony DualSense Wireless Controller

The PS5 has changed gaming in recent months, and the DualSense controller from Sony takes that one step further still. The adaptive triggers mean that they offer some resistance under your fingers while playing, making your gaming activity feel more real. Although the main features of this controller don’t yet work on PC, it seems likely that support will come – meaning that this is a must have if you enjoy reactive gaming.

Astro C40 TR

If you’re looking for an alternative to DualShock controllers then this could be the ideal choice for you. This controller is great if you like to be different – as you can swap the parts around, meaning that you set it up however you like. This means that you can enjoy playing with a setup that truly suits your gaming style, which is something that a lot of players have grown to love about this controller. If you enjoy gaming on the PC, this controller has Windows software, meaning that you can use it for both console and PC games – completely adaptable. When you’re ready to take a break from video gaming be sure to make your PowerPlay.

PowerA Spectra

Not everyone has the budget for an expensive, premium controller, and if you fall into this category there’s no doubt that this controller could be a good decision. This is a wired controller, which may be a drawback in some cases, however it’s the closest you can get to feeling like you’re playing with an official Xbox controller without actually buying one. This means that if the fact that it’s wired isn’t a dealbreaker, this budget alternative could provide you with hours of gameplay that you are sure to love.

Razer Wolverine Ultimate

This controller looks sleek as soon as you set eyes on it, and will work on both console and PC. It isn’t wireless on the PC, but the useability of the controller more than make up for this. This controller has swappable sticks and d-pad, which means you can set it up how you like it best. If you’re looking for a controller that looks and plays well in equal measure, you can be sure that this would be a great option for you.
