Any wired Xbox controller, including 3rd party, is fine and will run you 20-30 bucks for new on the low end. They're usually cheaper than other options and PC support is typically better

Why limit to 20 bucks? Save a little longer and spend at least 30-50 so you don't have to buy some garbage that you'll need to replace in a couple months.

Work that extra hour at work and buy a real controller. Otherwise you need to buy used and get lucky.

I use a Logitech f310 and I think I paid $20 at a physical Best Buy store.

It looks almost identical to an older PlayStation controller.

Tip: The logo button pulls up a social screen that you have never seen with out a controller. It was a totally bizarre experience the first time I did it.

Set loot to A, so that you do all your interactions with A.

I just leave automap as select(BACK) and hold both right+left triggers to toggle showing loot.

Clicking the right analog stick swaps weapons, potions = directional pad.

I usually do like primary skills = B, secondary ability = Y, and teleport = X.

Prebuffs I do something like hold left trigger + B Y X (BO+BC+Frozen armor or whatever.)

You still need a keyboard and mouse for things like entering the game name when you make/join games.

The only issue I've found is that certain classes (like a summon necro/pnb hybrid) just have too many abilities/buttons.

So it has to be a somewhat simple character, but a fire ele druid with 4 damage abilities (Armageddon/fissure/volcano/molten bolder), 3 prebuffs (BO/BC/Cyclone Armor), and tele is 100% fine. You have enough buttons for that.

Also, don't press the mode button ever. One mode is fine and the other seems to be for other types of games.

There's an option to have different bindings on weapon swap, it really helps.

credit for suggesting this!



maybe i need to buy a controller directly from aliexpress.com :D

there's no way these cost more than $5 to make.

from my research so far, it seems like most people like the xbox one controller, or the offbrand versions.

playstation-style controllers are not the way to go.
