Due to the late development of my country's game market and other reasons, the vast majority of game players started their enlightenment stage on computers. Although the joining of the three giants Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo in the past two years has gradually increased the number of domestic console players, traditional online games and e-sports games such as FPS and MOBA have an absolute advantage in the number of users. Coupled with space and other restrictions, the game Laptops and high-end desktops are still the choice of most people in China.
Of course, different platforms have their own advantages, so I won’t discuss them here. But whether it is on a PC or a console platform, if you want to unlock the complete gaming experience, a controller is absolutely essential, whether it is the new year game "FIFA", "NBA 2K" series, or the "NBA 2K" series later ported to the PC. "Red Dead Redemption 2", "Marvel's Spider-Man", etc., once you play them with a controller, you will never want to use the keyboard again. Therefore, this week’s recommendation will recommend several game controllers at different price points for PC players.
Thor G30 under 100 yuan
The first thing to note is that due to Microsoft’s dominance on the PC platform and the excellent layout design of the Xbox series controllers, there are almost no new products with symmetrical joystick layouts like PS controllers on the market today. , and it is fully compatible with games on PC, so all recommendations in this issue are controllers using the "XYAB" layout.
Although the daily price of this Thor G30 wired game controller page is 129 yuan, based on the discount information since its launch, it can often be easily priced within 100 yuan. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can also If you search on second-hand platforms, you will find that most of them are gifts for purchasing Thor products, and they are also very cheap.
This controller is equipped with asymmetric dual motors, which can ensure vibration feedback for most games. It is also equipped with four back buttons, supports button backlight, and is compatible with different platforms such as Android, Windows, and NS.
In general, handles at this price are already the most entry-level. It is difficult to recommend products at a price lower than this. If you haven’t had a controller before, or don’t plan to play games with a controller for a long time, but just want to experience it occasionally, this controller is a good choice. It has a decent feel and a certain quality.
100-200 Yuan Feizhi Darth Vader 2 Cable Edition
When I heard the brand Feizhi at first, I was still a little reluctant. It felt like it came from a small workshop, but later I was "slapped in the face" by its stack of materials.
At this price point, Feizhi Darth Vader 2 provides a detachable Japanese ALPS steel rim rocker, equipped with four back buttons and two more buttons on the front. It supports RGB backlight and can be set through the software on the PC. It is a very complete solution, and its feel is first-rate in the same price range.
The appearance of this handle is very good, and its daily price is often 149-159 yuan. Compared with handles priced under 100 yuan, it has a significant improvement in material stacking and feel.
200-300 Yuan BaBitang Orion
If this article was written half a year ago, I might have recommended the old Xbox One S controller at this price. However, with the emergence of 8Bitdo, I feel that it is not worth taking the risk of buying stock and second-hand products. when.
8Bitdo's Orion can be called the king of rolls that came out of the blue. First of all, it is an officially authorized solution by Microsoft (it should be the only one in China at present). There is no need to say anything about compatibility. In terms of appearance, it is slightly smaller than the official Xbox controller. It has a round pebble shape and a matte texture that is very similar to the Xbox controller. It feels great in the hand.
In terms of hardware, this handle uses a Japanese ALPS brand rocker with uniform damping and high precision. The keys are crisp, rebound quickly, and have been carefully tuned. The two trigger keys use the currently very popular Hall trigger, which can be pressed evenly, and because they are officially authorized, they both support trigger vibration, which is very rare and can be used in Microsoft's first-party games such as "Horizon 5". Brings very clear road feedback.
In general, this product, as an officially authorized controller, has been fine-tuned based on the official solution and is more suitable for the hand shape and usage habits of Chinese players. The addition of two back buttons is better than nothing. Today, when the production capacity of controllers is insufficient, it is very good for PC players to buy them as replacements for Xbox controllers.
300-500 yuan Microsoft wireless controller 2020
There is really nothing to say about this price. Microsoft’s own controller is almost perfect. Unfortunately, it is not easy to buy, and the price fluctuates greatly. The normal price should be around 400 yuan, bundled with a wireless controller or battery and data. I can't say much about the thread, but if you can buy it at the original price, it's a great success.
500-800 Yuan Beitong Zeus Elite
The domestic third-party controllers recommended earlier are all wired versions. This is mainly because Microsoft has not opened the authorization in this area, so the reliability of the cheap solution is not very recommended.
Beitong has accumulated technology for so many years, and it still has some useful information. Although the low-price range has encountered very fierce competition, its sales have always been the leader, which shows that consumers still very much recognize this brand. This Zeus can be said to be the culmination of Beitong's controllers. If it can be sold at the same price as Microsoft's own controller, it shows that there is something good about it.
First of all, in terms of stacking materials, mechanical micro buttons, replaceable rockers, panels, and trigger buttons with adjustable ranges are all available. The wireless solution also provides a dedicated adapter to ensure delay, and also supports gyroscope and multi-platform. These are functions that Microsoft’s official controller does not have, and the positioning is still very accurate. However, since it is a third-party solution, the trigger vibration is naturally missing. Friends who mind it should not buy it.
The price of this controller is slightly higher than the regular version of Microsoft's official controller, but it is almost half of the second-generation elite controller. Therefore, friends with limited budget can choose it to get richer functions, while the feel is not inferior to the official one, and it is also compatible with different The platform is quite cost-effective.
