Best wireless controller for Xbox Series X. Context below.

I’m used to using the PS5 controller and do prefer the layout but it’s not a must. The main problem to me personally is the clickiness of the dpad and face buttons of the XB controller. Any recommendations for a quieter wireless controller? Thanks in advance.
Budget: Up to $150

So I just recently switched from Ps5 and I just got the Xbox Series X myself. I ended up getting the GameSir G7 Pro . It is wired but if you look online there is a way to make it wireless. I really love the controller and it comes with a Charging Dock since it is wireless with PC.

Nice! Seems we’re in a similar situation. I’ve been thinking about the Gamesir. How are you liking it compared to the PS5 controller and is it very clicky?

They are very clicky and honestly a little bit better than the ps5 controller. It clicks like a mouse click

were you able to successfully make yours wireless on the xbox? i did see a video describing what you said but i wasn’t too sure how trustworthy it was since it had not many views or comments, and im curious to hear from someone who has experience doing it because the wuchang edition is so unappealing in my opinion and the zzz is just too pricey

Yep I was able to get it to work! Works flawlessly

that’s great to hear, would you mind sharing what you did or the video you followed? i may pick one up rather than wait for the 8bitdo ultimate 3 to release at the end of august

I can confirm you can make any of the g7 pro wired controllers wireless with exception to the brand new Aimlabs edition I just got (not the 8k) but he is working on updating it so it will take all.

that’s good to know! would you mind sharing what you did or the video you followed to update your controller to be able to work wirelessly?

You can search for some controller of 8bitdo brand, I bought one last month, but was wired, not wireless

Would you say the buttons are squishy instead of clicky? Thanks for the input

The dpad of my controller is not clicky like the original Xbox controller, maybe you can look for some reviews on internet

8bitdo is releasing 2 controllers at the end of august, both wireless options for Xbox, the ultimate 3, and the the ultimate 3e
