Looking for a controller for PC that is within 1000 PHP (or around 17 USD) and it comes down between the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C and the Gamesir Nova 2 Lite. Which should I get?
Nova 2 Lite. Better DPad, better extra button placement, trigger stops. Better compatibility if that's important. Comes with a storage case.

What controller would you recommend?
Buying the Xbox controller again would have the advantage of you being already aquainted with the controller, no learning curve. If you'd like something similiar, but less expensive, maybe have a look at the gamesir nova 2 lite, the dpad is amazing and it has hall effect sticks, so you wouldn't need

Finally gave in and got the G7 ZZZ
Nice! (If you want a good dpad the nova 2 lite is the best, I know someone with 250+ controllers and maps all of them in a data base, they rate the nova 2 lite with an s tier dpad)

My mom sent me this and wondering if it’s a good deal. Never seen it before so I thought I’d ask on here
A few things to consider:- Woot is mainly focused on selling stuff that is returned/refurbished that can't be sold on main Amazon site. There's nothing wrong with buying refurbished items, but I'd be just cautions about it and you wont have a warranty most likely.- AOC is a generic brand, not primar

Looking for the ultimate Metroidvania controller under $200
GameSir Nova 2 Lite if you want cheap and a circular, accurate DPad with Xbox layout. Has trigger stops. Personally I use the Gulikit Elves 2 for my metroidvanias and games which use no sticks at all. It's symmetrical but the DPad is the main star and focus of the controller and the sticks are almos

Would you recommend either the Tegenaria Lite or Nova 2 Lite for fighting games?
Nova 2 lite all the way. I love both, but the dpad on the N2L is just way better IMO. I play SF third strike, SF4 and SF6 most of the time with tekken and fatal fury on the side sometimes. It's jus good for them.

Best Gamesir budget controller?
edit: Tegenaria and N2L/NL all dont have gyro (I replied without taking it into account).I guess Nova HD (aka Nova NS) fits all your requirements (Switch mode, gyro) and is currently on sale on Gamesir site for 16$. But I wouldn't pick it for any other case or recommend it if it were sold for regula

I don't have the Ultimate 2C, but I have the Ultimate 2. And I have the Nova 2 Lite. It sounds like you are going to be gaming a lot with the D-Pad. In that case, I think you'd be happier with the N2L. Even if the 2C had the same D-Pad as the Ultimate 2, I'd still pick the N2L. The D-Pad is very lig

What is the best D-pad?
I haven't tried to Nova 2 lite, but the Pro2 has the best Dpad out of the other options, imo.

G7 pro or any else?
Definitely look into the nova 2 lite for its top tier dpad for 2d fighters along with the supernova
