Yeah, sorry, I'm a :freeze-gamer: please forgive me, it's my biggest lib flaw. :deeper-sadness:
I don't want to spend more then like $70 so please don't recommend the Xbox Elite controller or anything.
It's mostly for emulation but I do play Dark Souls and Monster Hunter on occasion so it needs to be somewhat responsive.
i use a ps4 controller and a wii-u pro controller
i don't know how much they cost in aussie dollars, but could try looking for a second-hand one? they are pretty durable in my experience
edit: you can pick up a ps4 controller at JB Hi-Fi for $79 apparently
edit2: ebay australia has wii u ones for ~$35, ps4 ones for ~$45
dunno how bad shipping will be, australia sure is big
