When we buy a console, generally, unless we take advantage of a very specific offer, only one control is included. If it stops working with use or breaks down and the warranty has expired, we have to leave a fortune in a new official remote or opt for one of the compatible models available on the market.
On Amazon we can find a large number of controls of all kinds, controls generally from Asian firms that nobody knows about in Spain and that have ridiculous prices. However, the quality of the materials, as well as the durability of their products, leaves much to be desired.
If we don’t have a budget to buy the original remote, we don’t care that it works with a cable and the option of Asian manufacturers is not an option, the solution is to trust the manufacturer Nacon. Nacon is a veteran manufacturer of controllers for PC and consoles with extensive experience.
On Amazon we can find the Nacon Compact controller for PC and PlayStation 4 for only 29.90 euros, which represents a 25% discount on its usual price, which is 39.99 euros. This controller is not officially compatible with PlayStation 5, however, some users claim that they have managed to get it to work without any issues.
This Nacom model includes a 3-meter cable to connect it to PC or PlayStation 4, more than enough to play comfortably and avoid jerks associated with the title we are playing. Includes 2 vibration motors just like the original remote.
The design is very similar to what we can find in the PlayStation 4 controller, it includes a tactile surface on the top and a Soft touch surface so that the grip is perfect at all times. It also includes an LED indicator and a 3.5mm jack for connecting headphones.
This Nacon remote has an average rating of 4.2 stars out of 5 possible after receiving more than 11,500 opinions, so it is a safe bet and it is very unlikely that it will end up disappointing us.
If we want to play on PC and the Xbox controller is the one we’ve always wanted, the Carbon Black color model is currently on Amazon with a 6% discount and a final price of 56.20 euros. The main advantage of this controller compared to the PS5 is that, if we want to connect it to our PC, it will not be necessary to install any third-party application to do so.
But if what we are looking for is the original PlayStation 5 controller, we will also find it on Amazon, however, and as usual, this controller does not have any type of discount or promotional offer, so we will have to pay its full price, which is €69.97.
