A lot of the controllers I've reviewed this year have been super expensive. Don't get me wrong, most of them have been great, but price tags higher than $200 aren't what most players will want to see. Luckily, one brand has stood above the pack in terms of offering value for money in 2023.
The GameSir T4 Kaleid is one of my favorite controllers of the past twelve months, and if you play on a Nintendo Switch or a PC, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better gamepad for the money.
Usually, this transparent controller with Hall Sensor sticks would only set you back $41.99 / £41.99 anyway, but thanks to some pre-Christmas deals at Amazon, you can get it for $37.79 in the US and only £35.69 in the UK.
Admittedly, these aren't massive discounts, but massive discounts don't usually happen to price tags this small. When I reviewed the T4K earlier in the year, I was amazed at the level of comfort it had. It immediately took a place on our best PC controller and best Switch controller lists, and it'll take something pretty special to dethrone it.
I should also say that I've been watching the price of this controller like a hawk this year. Annoyingly, it wasn't even on offer for Black Friday, so this wee Christmas sale is no short of a festive miracle. With two programmable back buttons and thumbsticks that are immune to stick drift, this is a worthy gift for gamers on either side of the Atlantic.
