We’ve reviewed a fair few in the past few months and while we have our favorites, it doesn’t just stop there. We’ll be keeping an eye on everything from 8BitDo, fighting sticks, and of course, our favorite, the Xbox Elite Series 2.

Prime Day deals for PS5 & PS4 controllers

Victrix Pro BFG with fightpad

Though we weren’t too big of a fan of the Edge, and instead opt to recommend the Victrix BFG, which is a fantastic option.

PS4 controllers should also see some price drops, as Sony and Amazon will want the last-gen hardware out of their warehouses as soon as possible.
