Cheap gaming controllers for every setup

Gamers after cheap gaming controllers will find wired and wireless gamepads for console and PC play on this page. Pro-style pads with back paddles, arcade fight sticks and racing wheels with pedals are listed too, so adding a second player for couch co-op or upgrading a competitive setup doesn't have to drain the game fund.

Cheap gaming controllers: will they work with your system?

• Many third-party pads support only one platform, so confirm the controller works with your console, PC or phone.
• Wireless models vary in battery life, and some use a rechargeable pack while others take AA batteries.
• Rear paddles, trigger stops and remappable buttons help in competitive shooters, so see which extras each model offers.
• Magnetic-sensor thumbsticks are designed to reduce stick drift compared with traditional potentiometer sticks.

Which suits you: Casual players often do fine with a standard wireless pad, while competitive players may choose pro-style controllers with paddles and adjustable triggers.
