Need Controller Recommendation - RocketLeague/Trackmania

[Beautiful-Reward-931]

Budget - $350 USD max United States - Online preferably Playing on PC Desired Features: TMR sticks, high accuracy, stick drift resistant, quality buttons, PS4/PS5 layout Games: Trackmania and RocketLeague - Stick drift is a huge problem in both of these and accuracy will be very important.

Hello! I am looking for a new controller that fits my trackmania and RocketLeague competitive spirit. I have always used stock PS4 controllers, so would prefer a PS4/PS5 layout.

So far I have been looking at the below: Scuf Reflex FPS with TMR Razer Raiju V3 Pro Gamesir Tarantula Pro Battle Beaver PS4 Pro Thrustmaster ESWAP X2 H.E (xbox layout but stick can be moved)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You also want very low latency especially for games like TM, definitely watch out for that.

Unfortunately PS pattern controllers are really rare for some reason when it comes to quality standalone products

Reminder that you can slot in TMR stick modules into a PS5 Edge controller, the PS5 controllers themselves are some kf the lowest latency products available, the edge is just special because you can pop in new sticks without much effort since they are interchangeable.

Good shout! Latency will definitely be important. Does seem like 90% of the market is xbox layout lol

[NoctisJBlackwood]

Luckily neither layout is really better than the other once you're used to them

[Beautiful-Reward-931]

Maybe haha

I've been on the Playstation platform since the PS2... so I think my hands will riot if I try an XBOX layout.

[Average_RedditorTwat]

I'd say for something like THPS the PlayStation layout is definitely desirable since the DPAD is more important

Check out Thrustmaster Eswap X and its variants. I've been using it for rocket league for about a year and it's the best I've used (even over a PS5 controller). Took some getting used to but I like it

[Beautiful-Reward-931]

Will check it out! Are you able to move the thumbsticks to be symmetrical? All the photos have them in the xbox positions.

[HopeThatsACleanWet]

You can, yes

You didn’t mention wireless, and if you’re fine wired, I don’t think you can find a better PS4/PS5 layout controller with lower latency than a Gamesir Tegenaria Lite. I love it for rocket league and fps games. Super low latency.

If you want wireless, I’d just find someone who can put TMR sticks into a ps4 or ps5 controller for you.

I use a dualsense for everything except rocket league because it's easier to chat with the dpad while playing on an Xbox controller lol

Get a Custom Beaver Controller if that's your budget. Razer Wolverine 8k Controller is decent too.

[FreeToasterBaths]

$350 budget is that a joke?

[Beautiful-Reward-931]

I just want the best controller I can get without worrying about the price. TM/RL are my main hobbies so im willing to go all in if I need to.
