Drone 2

200 dollars for a stick with with the only defining features being that it is somewhat thin, wireless and ps5 compatible, essentially a middle point beetween a 60 dollar hori mini stick and a full sized stick with the price of the full sized one I don't understand who would want to buy a 200 dollar

If you play on PC I recommend getting a Mayflash F300 or 8Bitdo Arcade stick - they can work on a PS5 too but you'd need an adapter. The Qanba Drone 2 is another good starter stick but it's a little more expensive and has native PS5 support. The Hori mini is not the worst thing ever but if you'll en
