I recently went on a hunt for a cheap good offbrand controller. I bought several from gamesir 8bitdo and easysmx, and ended up landing on the gamesir cyclone 2. It’s quite good, though not perfect, because the ergonomics are not 100% my style, but it was my best option overall. I think it was like 50€.
Before that I was using the 30€ range controllers from easysmx and for their price they were good but only lasted a couple of years because stick drift.
I tried 8bitdo because everyone talked so good of them, but I didn’t like the ergonomics, that’s 100% personal though, the controller itself was good.
I also read about the Vader 4 controllers, which has good reviews but never tried it.
