What to Look For
Key factors to consider before buying on AliExpress
XInput is the Xbox standard with native support in virtually all PC games. DInput is older and needs mapping software (JoyToKey). For PC gaming, only consider XInput-compatible controllers.
Xbox-style offset analog sticks are the PC standard. PlayStation-style parallel sticks work but may take adjustment.
Wired: zero latency, no batteries. 2.4GHz near-wired performance. Bluetooth adds 5-15ms. For PC gaming, 2.4GHz is the sweet spot.
