The 8Bitdo SN30 Pro controller is a true success, in that it has retained the main features of its inspiration while making enough changes to remain competitive with modern controllers. Classy, wireless, easy to transport, and effective in managing controls, the SN30 Pro will be an ideal companion for nomadic players, or for sedentary ones wishing to add a touch of nostalgia to their setup.
I like to see long-time conventions being shattered by technological advances. I loved the Wii and was struck by the use of the Kinect although the end result was disastrous. Lately, I love to read about the “Netflix” of video games. The Valve Steam Controller had also piqued my interest.
The Razer Wolverine Ultimate is one of the best controllers in the market for Xbox One and PC and is designed for a more competitive game that adapts perfectly to any genre. Professional gamers who are looking for the ultimate performance will certainly love it.
The Logitech F310 resembles a PlayStation controller but brings additional features for those who want to enjoy their games on different platforms. The versatility of the controller is perhaps its best feature, especially for the more casual gamers looking for the best possible performance and versatility with different devices.
The Microsoft Xbox One Elite is certainly in a class of its own: one of the most customizable, comfortable and luxurious gamepads we have ever tried… with a premium price.
Apart from the eternal debate concerning symmetrical vs asymmetrical analog sticks, we cannot deny that the Sony DualShock 4 is as functional as possible: it features an excellent D-pad solid buttons, a touchpad, motion sensors, wired and wireless connections while maintaining a very reasonable price. It just lacks some autonomy and is otherwise a great gamepad.
The evolution of the already good 360 controllers, the Microsoft Xbox One controller offers several improvements: new analog sticks, new and improved D-pad, and bigger vibrating triggers… This is the best controller for Xbox One and also for the PC since it has native support on Windows.
Nintendo has released a new low-cost portable console for those who wish to enter the Switch universe without having to spend more than necessary. The Nintendo Switch Lite surprises with its portability and battery life but disappoints in some other aspects.
The Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB is for serious gamers that take care of their shoulders, wrist, and hands and want an ergonomic gaming keyboard that can help them endure hours upon hours of competitive gaming.
If you are looking for a new mechanical gaming keyboard in the premium segment, then the Cooler Master MK850 is an interesting option. But the Wooting One and Two are somewhat better overall. If you see analog input mainly as a nice extra, the Corsair K95 Platinum costs less, and its the best premium keyboard there is.
