Over the decades, I’ve used many Xbox controllers, yet not a single one of them felt right to play 2D side-scrollers due to their awkward placement of the D-Pad and their analog sticks causing unintentional input errors.
That is, until I came across the Hyperkin Competitor. This is an amazing Xbox controller that has a button layout better suited for 2D games and includes gameplay-enhancing features like Hall Effect analog sticks and Impulse Triggers, and it’s now on sale for $42.49 at Amazon.
