After less than a month on top, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro has been dethroned as the best high end controller for PC gaming. That's because the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC came out and won the tussle of the controllers.
The Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC takes what we like about the standard V3 Pro, adds an 8,000 Hz polling rate, as well as TMR thumbsticks, and comes in at the exact same price. If you play on PC, and have the $200 spare to afford it, the V3 Pro 8K PC is a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, this model is missing Bluetooth (which the V2 Pro has) so you need to plug in the 2.4 GHz dongle for wireless play, but it does come with a long braided USB and a carry case in the box. And the PC-specific focus means the lack of the higher latency Bluetooth connection really isn't a thing.
There are some instances where the V3 Pro is a better shout, however. For instance, the 8K PC version of the controller doesn't come with Xbox wireless compatibility. If you want something for both your PC and Xbox, the slightly older model would be the best choice. For pure PC gamers though, the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC variant blows the standard V3 Pro out of the water.
If you want something a little less expensive, our top pick for the best controller for PC gaming is the Gamesir G7 Pro and we reckon the Gamesir Nova Lite is the best budget controller for PC. There's plenty to choose from at different price points.

1. Best overall:
GameSir G7 Pro
2. Best budget:
GameSir Nova Lite
3. Best high end:
Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC

Scuf Valor Pro
The best controller for PC gaming
The best overall
This little feature-packed beast dethroned the Xbox controller, and for good reason. It offers a great feel, strong connectivity, won't get stick drift, and it's only slightly more expensive than the Microsoft-made controller it beats.
The best budget
You don't need to spend a fortune to get your hands on a great controller. The Nova Lite is as affordable as they come, wireless, and even sports Hall effect thumbsticks as part of the bargain.
The best high end
Razer's latest Wolverine is the best version yet, thanks to the Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers, plus some super-clicky face buttons. It's very expensive, but it feels every bit as premium as you'd expect.
The best wired
Superb build quality, excellent ergonomics, Hall effect thumbsticks, and a whole host of performance-enhancing features make the Scuf Valor Pro a shoo-in for this spot. Hope you don't mind the cable, though.
