I am searching for a controller to play emulated switch games on my pc. My requirements are motion controls, good build quality and responsiveness, and preferably hall effect sticks to make the controller last longer avoiding drift.

Some of the options I have: GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro - 47€ GameSir G4 Pro - 48€ 8bitdo Ultimate - 50€ GuliKit King Kong 2 - 5X€ GuliKit King Kong 2 Pro - 60€

And are there any controllers for the sub 50€ price range which are better? All the ones I have mentioned are on that price on aliexpress, except for the GuliKit ones which are a bit higher but if they are REALLY worth it I might stretch a bit more…

I found all of this options in the official aliexpress stores of those brands. Which have great prices compared to other stores.

    I was aware of the Ultimate C existed and I did supposed it was some sort of “lite” version

    Yeah, but just to be clear, it’s not just the Ultimate C that doesn’t have them. The fourth link above is to a non-Bluetooth Ultimate variant with no “C” in its name; that particular variant also doesn’t have Hall Effect sticks.

    For me, it was annoying because — at least when I bought mine, haven’t checked recently — 8bitdo doesn’t make a Ultimate controller with an XBox button layout and Hall Effect sticks. You gotta settle for a Nintendo-layout controller. You can remap the buttons in software on your computer, and they apparently sell replacement button caps if you want to make the controller look like an XBox controller, but it’s not internally using the XBox layout, annoyingly-enough.

    You sound like you’re specifically wanting a Nintendo layout, so you probably don’t need an XBox layout, but you might still want to be careful that whatever you order does in fact have the Hall Sticks.
