10 best gamepads with AliExpress

Today there is a tendency of active migration of good games from consoles to PC. This pleases many gamers, but the management question remains open. A bunch of “keyboard + mouse” suits far from everyone, and not all games interact with it. One of the main accessories through which contact with the virtual world is made is a joystick or gamepad. Since its inception, they have seriously evolved, transforming into advanced manipulators and controllers. With such devices, you can say goodbye to the problem of impassability of gaming hits on the “clavomysh”. The catch is only in price.

If you don’t want to spend money on an expensive branded joystick, or you need an accessory for one game, or you don’t know at all if you need it at all - consider alternative options. A good substitute for branded gamepads and joysticks are Chinese gadgets. In today's selection of the most interesting models found in the open spaces of AliExpress.All the joysticks and gamepads presented in the review sell well on AliExpress, have at least 90% positive feedback and are highly functional.

Best wired gamepads for computer

The best gamepad is the one that fits comfortably in your hand, interacts with the right operating systems and fits your needs. For one, the ideal is the Sony DualShock 4, the other is more suitable for the Xbox 360 or Xbox One, and still others use the cheapest Chinese device, and do not see the point in overpaying for the brand. We will not prove that the Chinese device is the best. This is not true. But gamepads with Aliexpress are much cheaper than top-end devices. And if it is reasonable to approach the choice of model, you can find very interesting options. The devices presented in the section are usually suitable for set-top boxes.

One of the most affordable are wired gamepads. They limit the movement of the player - this is a minus. But do not worry that at the most important moment the battery will be discharged, and you will not be able to win your most important victory. And this is a big plus. Well, they cost less than wireless analogs.

3 ShirLin PlayStation 3

This the controller is designed to pbeat the enemy in the fighting game. Fans of the genre will recognize in it a copy of the Nygacn NJP-308A. The gamepad is suitable for the PlayStation 3, but it can also be connected to PC and Smart TV. It is equipped with a classic push-button arcade design and multitasking joystick. Device dimensions are impressive: 300x163x105 mm. The case is quite strong.

The gamepad is steady, at the bottom there are non-slip pads that prevent it from moving around the table without your will. Only children and adults with small hands can play it uncomfortable. But this is a matter of habit. But the device is connected simply. Usually no software installation is required. Feedback on his work is positive. Buyers with Aliexpress reduce the assessment only for problems with delivery - they will remember the box, they will lose the package. But this is not the fault of the seller, and certainly not the manufacturer.

2 DEDOMON C024

If you are a gamer of the old school and started with 8-bit hits from the time of Sega and Dandy, then you have a great opportunity to enjoy retro games with special DEDOMON gamepads adapted for them. The classic look and layout of the buttons, as well as universal compatibility with all operating systems of modern PCs (Windows / Mac) will help to plunge into childhood and re-play your favorite games. C024 copes with its tasks more than successfully (except that some users have problems with the response of the cross, but this is fixable and is rare), no additional software is required.

1 ONLENY Xbox 360

ONLENY is a decent clone of the original controller from the Xbox 360. All the buttons and sticks work absolutely identical, the vibration has not gone away, and the PCs themselves define the gamepad exactly as the Xbox 360 (therefore, you will not have to look for third-party emulators). The assembly and quality of the buttons are also high, and a 2.5 meter cord is enough in all situations. The device is even packed in a box that looks like the original, but, naturally, without any logos. We didn’t manage to find obvious flaws in ONLENY, so hurry to buy until the goods disappear from the sale.

The best wireless gamepads for gaming consoles and PCs

Gamepads for consoles can usually be used to build connections with the computer. After all, most modern games can be installed on a PC. On many of these gamepads, in addition to the standard control buttons, mini-joysticks or sticks are installed. In simulators, they behave imperfectly, so a full-fledged joystick is preferable for them. But when compared with the mouse and keyboard, the sticks show themselves very well.

The main advantage of wireless gamepads is mobility. You can sit comfortably on the couch, not tangling in the wires and not looking for a free socket for connection. Otherwise, they are identical to wired counterparts.

4 Cewaal 157625

Very simple, but quite convenient wireless joystick from a little-known Chinese company Cewaal. And although in the appearance of the model in question, an allusion to the Sony Dualshock 3 controller is clearly visible, there is not even a closely related functional here and there (we are talking about vibration, a position positioning sensor, etc.). For some, this will be a minus (the gamepad will definitely not work for the avid gamers), but on the other hand, in principle it would be foolish to wait for similar elements in the budgetary Chinese clone. The device honestly fulfills its price, without any problems connecting to the devices declared by the manufacturer (computer, phones, etc.), providing a quite moderate level of response and without causing negative emotions when used.

3 VOGROUND for Sony PS4

This wireless Bluetooth gamepad can be taken both for the console and for the computer. For most games, no software installation is required. The only thing you have to do is install a Bluetooth adapter on your computer (if you don’t have one). With the prefix problems do not arise. She perceives the gamepad as "native". Differences from the original are small, but they are. This is the quality of plastic, and the speed of interaction. Another battery - the original is 1000 mA / h, the copy - 800 mA / h. Well, the weight - the Chinese clone is lighter.

The gamepad has a built-in speaker for playing background sounds, a headphone jack. Management is quite convenient. Accuracy provides a pair of analog joysticks. The seller device is represented in 17 different designs. I must say, the case of interesting colors will cost more than just black or white. On Aliexpress, this model is in the wired version. Its price is 30 percent lower.

2 TECTINTER Gamepad for Xbox 360

Like the previously reviewed ONLENY gamepad, TECTINTER copies the design of Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller, but has several additional advantages.First, it is a wireless design (battery powered). Secondly, a wide selection of designs (seven different colors) that will help gamers stand out among friends. In terms of functionality, no complaints were found - all buttons work perfectly, including vibration, and the case itself is assembled solidly and firmly (nothing backlash or creaks).

In general, if you are looking for a wireless gamepad for the Xbox 360, the TECTINTER is one of the best options, considering that the original joysticks are discontinued and it is not so easy to find them. If, in addition to the console, you want to try a device, for example, on a PC, you will have to buy a special adapter for it.

1 SZKOSTON 800366

This multifunctional game controller for PlayStation will please those who are looking for a budget replacement for DualShock 3. The design of the accessory is classic. The manufacturer did not bother with its transformation. He used the familiar form of gamers and the symmetrical placement of the sticks. If you look closely, you can notice the differences in the images on the buttons. And, of course, no company logos. For the rest - everything is like the original. The joystick is great, the buttons do not stick.

Most users are satisfied with the gamepad's autonomy, they claim in the reviews that it fully complies with the declared characteristics. Build quality and soldering excellent. Even the plastic looks like the original. Is that a copy of Aliexpress a little easier. But the device is connected to the PC without any problems. Working range - 10 meters. The choice of the seller offers 6 colors. This is the best game gamepad for Sony PS, which you can buy for $ 10.

The best gamepads for mobile devices

Gamers are divided into PC lovers and console fans. But there is a third group - the adherents of telephone games. They were not taken seriously for a long time, even by gamepad and joystick manufacturers. After all, games for smartphones and tablets are mainly focused on the touch screen. However, in fact, even for them sometimes a joystick is required. It is difficult to replace it in games transferred from other platforms for Android, it is also necessary for emulators.

Controllers for phones, as a rule, use batteries. On the case they have a fixture for the phone. Most devices can be connected to a PC. Of course, gamepads with AliExpress differ from branded originals. It is rather a budget option that can be the best for those who are not ready to spend more than $ 20 to buy it. The rating includes devices with the necessary functionality at very nice prices.

3 BASEUS Gamepad for PUBG

These manipulators are not full-fledged joysticks in the direct sense of the word, but they greatly simplify life for lovers of playing shooters from mobile devices. The considered model is positioned by BASEUS as an ideal solution for playing PUBG MOBILE. The design is a trigger buttons mounted on the smartphone screen using a plastic case. Accordingly, pressing one of the buttons on the device automatically transmits the force to the display, which makes it comfortable to play using all four fingers (this makes aiming and shooting much easier). Since the very principle of the gamepad is as simple as possible, BASEUS does not provide any additional chips.

Customer reviews say that this model is one of the best on Aliexpress in its segment, however, it does not give one hundred percent reliability. There are false positives and inverse situations (lack of response at critical moments). However, it is quite adequate payment for the benefits received.

2 GEN GAME X3

According to external and internal characteristics, this device doesn’t stand out much against the background of a large number of similar devices, but it was he who managed to gain on Aliexpress just huge popularity (2nd place in sales in its category). The reason for such love among customers is the democratic price tag and gamepad versatility (support of smartphones, tablets, PCs, Smart TV and TV Box is declared). At the same time, GEN GAME X3 can work in four different modes at once (for fairness, we note that in 95% of cases only the first one is useful to you), it is comfortable in your hand, pleasantly tactile and boasts a normal response (it is convenient to play even without additional software). Moreover, the built-in lithium-ion battery holds the charge for much longer than the 1 hour mentioned by the manufacturer.

Of the minuses, we can only single out an incomprehensible decision to use the miniUSB connector as a power interface. Today it is extremely uncommon, and therefore the cable that comes in the kit will have to be carried everywhere along with the joystick. Many complain about the lack of intelligible instructions for connecting (because of what some buyers could not synchronize the device with nominally compatible devices).

 

1 MOCUTE 054

The manufacturer promises 20-30 hours of operation of this device without recharging. User feedback confirms the information. The gamepad really has to be charged far every day. Yes, and the battery charges quickly. But this is not the only advantage of this device. When connected to a smartphone, it quickly connects. The response from the device is good. If you look for flaws, you can see a slight lag of analog joysticks in the center position. Such a defect is mentioned in reviews, but it rarely appears.

You can connect the device via Bluetooth to the TV box, and play your favorite games in a large company. Data transmission is declared at a distance of 2–8 m. In practice, a little less, but it is enough to fit comfortably with a gamepad in a chair or on a sofa, and even in a large room. USB cable not included. The box is only a gamepad. Well, be prepared for the fact that it is really small. For owners of large hands, this can be a problem.
