Does anyone know of a cheap solution to the official Xbox 360 controller ? With the same, or more reliability, sticks feel the same, and works just as well.
A few months ago i bought an unofficial Xbox 360 Controller and its recently broke on me and i dont want to buy the same one again because, as weird as this sounds, the analog sticks were about twice as sensitive than those of the official controller and in game even after changing the sensitivity there was no good feeling. It was always too sensitive or not enough, and i need a controller for certain games. So, does anyone know of any controller that are about half the price of the official ones, because i cant be bothered to spend 35 euros on a controller ?

Thanks.

WIRED version of the XBOX 360 controller is my top choice for 20 euros.

You can get knock-offs but they aren't as good, and also won't last.

*Look at the customer feedback (4.7/5 stars). I've had mine now for FOUR YEARS of constant gaming and it's just starting to wear out.

(I had three wireless receivers for PC fail in the past so I gave up on wireless. Two official, one knock-off as MS doesn't make separate wi-fi adapters for PC.)

Sorry but disagree. I have a Steam controller and think its a bloody awful thing. Horrible ergonomics, inaccurate triggers, can't easily reach the ABXY buttons and then you have the cheap plastic look and feel.

Well that widens the choices, is it the feel of the 360 controller you like. I know its expensive but my favourite is the XBox One controller, I find it like a 360 but a big step up in accuracy and comfort. It will last a lot longer than the cheap copies.

A controller is how you physically interact with games, they can dramatically improve or hinder the experience. I'd always say it's one thing when gaming that's really worth paying a bit more for.

I use the 360 controller because i played on the console for about 8 years then last year moved to pc and theres some games like GTA that im really really good at on controller so i dont want to go through the whole learning process of playing GTA again but with a keyboard, and theres racing games too that you need a wheel or controller for. All other FPS i play with keyboard but there are some games i need a controller for.

i bought an unofficial one, and as i said the sticks were WAY too sensitive, and they recently broke but the official one costs 35 euros in Spain, bit expensive for just a controller.
