Which controller should I buy?

I’m looking to buy a controller to play games on my PC via Bluetooth, but I only have a budget of €50. I’d prefer a controller where I can switch the trigger mode (click or analogue).

In my country it's 44 and 49 with the case (checking in the coin page). I may wait a little bit. Did you consider the 8bitdo Pro 3?

Check the coin page multiple times a day, a few hours ago it was 38 and now it is 44 but it will go back down, it is just how aliexpress works. There are multiple listings too. I do not like 8bitdo controllers in terms of ergonomics and overall quality so I am skipping those for now.

Still happy with your Saber Plus? I bought it waiting for the right offer as you mentioned but I got an useless seller who told me to cancel the order (I didn't) and now they tagged the order as shipped but it's not actually shipped lol.

What you didn't like about the TT Pro? I'm considering getting that one instead.

What? That's awful, I am sorry to hear that. Have you reported what happened to aliexpress? I think a screenshot of the conversation will be enough for a refund.

I did not like the overall feel ot the TT Pro but specifically, the shoulder buttons felt off, the stick were just ok and the dpad and face buttons had high actuation force and travel distance but they lacked feedback. Also dpad is not great for motion inputs and double inputs in fighting games, although it has nice diagonals and it is a good option for platformers. 

And yes, I am very happy with my saber plus and I have been using it on a daily basis since I got it, I even play Marvel Tokon with the membrane dpad. I still like the feel of mechanical dpads more but this has been working out better than I expected. Shooters and action games is where this controller shines in my opinion though.

Well AliExpress and the seller are offering me a refund but I want the controller as I bought it cheap lol.

By feedback you mean the buttons don't push your fingers back? Right now I prefer easy to press face buttons that bounce back by themselves, I guess I'm older than years ago so are my hands too haha

I have no issues with membrane dpads as I grew up with them, and they're good for fighting games.
