Mostly looking for a decent quality anyway in regards to button quality and comfort but the main thing is a good analogue stick with no dead zone and it means it. I mostly want it to play f zero x where tilt is crucial. Aside from that just generally decent is fine, but I need a good fidelity stick

That or something I can do to get a ps3 controller working on my computer thst isn't also a bunch of malware

I'm a pretty big fan of the PS5 controller personally. Plays well with steam. Most games natively support button prompts for it also and for those which don't there are mods.

This might not be the case at this point as I'm mostly focused on fighting games, but for most of my life the general rule has been that officially produced first part controllers are going to be the best bang for your buck you can get as far as gamepads. You can get 3rd party controllers of equal or greater quality but very few if any at that level of quality at a competitive price point. Most 3rd party controllers marked at the price of an official controller or cheaper almost always use inferior parts and won't provide the same feedback or longevity. Unless you want to shell out for a premium custom build a current gen Xbox or Playstation controller is still likely the best option.

i bought the DualSense Edge. absolutely wonderful, even if it is on the pricey side. customizable trigger stops, swappable joysticks, two remappable buttons and two remappable back triggers that you can switch out for different styles. and it all feels really solid. all around I think it's the best controller I've used so far
