These affordable gaming controllers are some of the best around and they come from a brand that you probably haven’t heard of

I say the same thing every time someone asks me what controller they should buy for their PC, Xbox, or Switch: “Have you looked at GameSir?” Their answer? Invariably, they hadn’t even heard of the brand, let alone known that it was one of the best controller makers today.

GameSir dominates the budget end of the market, offering high-quality pads that are bursting with features at prices you wouldn’t believe. I’ve tested a good selection of them and have been impressed every single time, and can say that they’re fantastic alternatives to the likes of the Xbox Wireless Controller if you want a lot more bang for your buck.

And now many of their best models have been discounted in Amazon’s latest batch of sales, including highly rated picks like the G7 SE and more affordable options like the Nova Lite 2. I’ve even spotted a limited edition Zenless Zone Zero pad from my personal wishlist on offer! Just note that some of these discounts are only available to Prime subscribers.
