How to choose game controllers

Start by checking the game controller’s compatibility with your exact console model, computer operating system or Android device. Then consider the connection type and intended use. A handheld gamepad and a dedicated racing control serve different purposes. For a simulator setup, identify which controls you already have and which component you want to add before comparing individual products.

  • Wired gamepads: Options include controllers listed for Xbox 360 and PC. Some models specify vibration or dual vibration as part of their feature set.
  • Wireless gamepads: Options include controllers intended for PlayStation 3. Connection details depend on the individual gamepad rather than the category as a whole.
  • Multiple platforms: GameSir G7 Pro BK TRI-MODE lists Xbox, PC and Android support. This platform coverage applies to that particular model.
  • Steering wheel bases: PXN includes a Direct Drive steering wheel base for Windows PCs. A wheel base is a distinct component within a racing simulator control setup.
  • Shifters and pedals: PXN offers an H-pattern shifter and a separate clutch pedal. These controls handle different driving inputs in a simulator.

For computer or console gaming, compare gamepads by their listed platform support and control features. For sim racing, focus on the wheel base, gear selection or clutch control you need. Review each product’s contents separately when building a setup from individual components.
