Top 5 best eSports gamepads.

5 Astro C40 TR

Astro C40 TR has become one of the most awaited innovations in the world of eSports for a number of reasons. The first one is the price. The expected cost of the device will be about $ 200 or 13,200 rubles. The filling will be fully consistent with the price tag. A distinctive feature of the gamepad will be the replacement of sticks and D-Pad components, the calibration of the rear buttons and the innovative utility ASTRO Customization Software, which expands the possibilities of adjusting the equalizer, triggers, audio outputs and microphone.

The device can work when playing both wired and wireless with 12 hours of autonomy. With it, you can enjoy high-quality sound through 3.5 mm outputs. Comes with a carrying case. Currently, the device can only be obtained by ordering from the official site.

4 Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller Elite

If the price is not important to you, then this gamepad will become the best companion, both when playing at home and in eSports. In addition to high-quality body, it is very suitable for repair and replacement of component parts. You can replace almost everything in it - from sticks to internal components. With optimization here, too, everything is fine. There is an official software for reconfiguring keys. The cross is different here and it is completely devoid of the shortcomings of the younger brother.

On the case there are additional buttons for customizing game control. Due to the greater amount of technical stuffing, this version is heavier than usual, but the response and overall picture of the control are much higher. Minus - unreasonably overpriced.

3 Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

While Sony is intensively modifying its gamepads, Microsoft is optimizing its games on the PC and XBox, which is why the Model 360 can be used with the same success both on a computer and on a console for e-sports. Wired or wireless option - there is no difference, the quality of the connection in both versions is at a height. The main advantage of the product is its versatility, which makes it one of the best options when choosing a joystick for several platforms. It supports 95% of all games on both platforms and is great in the hand.

Unfortunately, not everyone likes the asymmetric arrangement of the sticks, so it will take some time to get used to this feature.The buttons are well pressed, the designations on them are not erased even with intensive use. In addition, it is noticeably cheaper than its rival from Sony. Of the minuses, a tight crossbar and a small zone of the dead stroke are noted, which is why it is problematic to precisely aim or hit the enemy.

2 Sony Dualshock 4 v2 Color

Before you one of the best and most popular wireless gamepads in the world for eSports. If it were not for the high price, then he could easily get the status of the national controller. The main advantage of this model is a very high-quality assembly, where the main material of execution is plastic. It is worth noting that if you want to get a quality product, then you should not order a gamepad on the "left" sites and sites.

Here are very good triggers and bumpers, popularly called "hammers". They are on the reverse side and are a kind of benchmark for other manufacturers. They are moderately tight and provide good tactile sensations. The model is suitable for games in the style of fighting games and races. The only drawback is the manufacturer’s ideological attachment to the PS, which can cause problems with orientation and button assignment when connected to a PC. To adapt, you must use third-party software.

1 LOGITECH F310

F310 will be an excellent budget option, with the option to change modes. It can be used on both the Playstation and the Xbox. Engineers did not bother with the design and created a hybrid. Buttons were borrowed from the first leader, and stick positions from the second. The main advantage is almost complete compatibility with all PC games.

Its low price relative to competitors allowed it to equal sales with market leaders and win universal love and honor from both ordinary users and cybersportsmen. The buttons here are not erased, the sticks work adequately and without backlash. Slightly saddens the tight functioning of the hammers, but the manufacturer compensates for this oversight with a 2-year warranty. The main complaint about the model is its small size and noisy buttons. The gamepad does not have a wireless modification.
