What Gamepad/Controller to buy for PC?

I just have a PS4 anyway, so I use my PS4 controller. It needs DS4Windows to run which I've found glitches up with some games (etc. Mortal Kombat Komplete) with adding a second character so you need to do stuff which interferes with Teamspeak, not sure about Skype but me and my friends use ts. But, it has flashy colours which can go rainbow and stuff.

I have a 360 wired, used it for about 2 years now on my computer, works perfect and never had a single problem. Now I have an Xbox One and decided to try it out and it literally works the exact same. I prefer the Xbox One controller to use compared to the 360 but that's just a personal preference. I also have a really long cable for the Xbox One controller so I am now able to play on my tv while sitting on the sofa which is a real game changer.

I'd go with a 360 Wired, and how does the F710 cost more than a 360 controller?

XBOX 360 Wireless.

XBox 360 wired. I have one and its great.

360 wireless no other way, I bought and forgot about any problems with a wire. But be care to connect to PC you need a Wireless Receiver. Good Luck, tell please what you will bought.

I've used a Logitech one for about 2-3 years(not the one you're listing but the previous model). I personally liked it quite a bit since it's more comfortable to the hand and light. However lately it started malfunctioning(LT command randomly getting stuck on a loop) so I changed to a Wireless Xbox 360 one. So far it's pretty good as well and seems a bit more reliable so I'd say for me it's a 50-50 choice. Logitech has better design and are more comfortable but Microsoft seems to have better quality and possibly longer duration.

Xbox 360 Wired, why bother with a wireless one? It works perfectly, the D-Pad sucks but no other complaints

lol what prices you have, Xbox One cost less than Xbox 360 wireless? where you are buying?

PS4 is too pricey, but that's the best there, I would get the Xbox One if it's that cheap.

Xbone One controller is a much better than the 360, you can use it wired too, you need a cable.

If you want a good Dpad, do not buy the 360, Dpad there is very bad, PS4 has best Dpad from these, but Xbox One has a good one too. Also another controller with a really good Dpad is the Hori Gem Pad, but idk if it''s better than the Xbox One or PS4, but overall that controller is regular, expect Dpad.

I've used all sorts of controllers on my PC from PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 wired and wireless, various logitech and even some classic controllers with adapters like the SNES and N64. Let me give you some pros and cons for all of them.

Xbox 360 Wired

Xbox 360 Wireless
Pro:
-Intuitive build
-Support in the majority of games
-Software is simple
-Cost is low
Con:
-Need peripherals (xbox 360 receiver)
-Doesn't come with a built in rechargeable battery
-Still has an awful D-pad

PS4
Pro:
-Incredible custom software available with total remapping options
-Touchscreen that can work as a mouse
-Build in rechargeable
-Can spoof a 360 controller
-The best D-pad
-Can be wired or wireless
Con
-Not built for PC so it can be difficult to set up
-Some Bluetooth adapters don't recognize it
-Set up can be a hassle

Retro controllers... It's a novelty. Fun, but probably not worth your time.

Edit: Final thoughts. If pricing isn't an issue, go with the PS4. I love it and probably won't be switching controllers anytime soon. If pricing is an issue, the 360 is a good option but the D-pad is so incredibly bad. Probably better off with a logitech controller and getting Xpadder installed. Good luck.

I use the wireless 360 controller. I already had one sitting around from my old 360 so I just had to buy a receiver. If you dont have one just sitting around like I did I would go with a wired 360 controller

I'd say PS3 but the option isn't there. Best controller I've ever used. Perfectly sized compared to the giant bulky xbox controllers. I'd need much bigger hands to use those properly.

xbox 360

It's funny how we both pay in euro but in Greece where i live, the 360 wired costs 40€ and xone wired costs 55€.

Xbox 360 wired by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Compatible with everything, easily customizable with JoyToKey if it isn't, no batteries, no connectivity issues, comfortable. If I think of any more advantages I'll edit them, but I think I'm not alone in thinking this :)

Xbox one wired or PS4. The 360 is pretty good, but the terrible d-pad is truly a disadvantage and you should not pick one up because of it. I learned this from experience (I bought the Xbox 360 controller for PC)

The best controller for PC gaming.

Personally, I'm very attached to my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, which I've used for over a decade and is similar to the F710(which would be my pick from your list). For a lot of games I like the classic feel, the responsiveness has never been an issue, batteries last a LONG time, cordless keeps down the clutter and lets me move around a bit more without setting it down. Also, Logitech has been in the PC peripherals business a LONG time, and they know their stuff. The software is easy to use, and I've completely customized the controls for various games and emulator profiles. Xbox one and ps4 get more software related complaints in my experience.

I also have 360 wireless controllers that I sometimes use if a game is designed with 360 presets included, but the battery life is shorter and I don't like the feel/play as much. It really amounts to personal preference, which for me the biggest element is how it feels in your hands for many hours of use.

Ignore the price tags or any comments about cost... we're talking pennies per hour of use, not something to think about when what matters is does it give you the best gaming experience.

I have an Afterglow Xbox 360 compatible wired controller and I don't have any issues with the d-pad on it. My regular Xbox wired controller got broken and the Afterglow was given to me as a gift. I've been using it for about a year now and it does the job well.
