Having the best gear for your needs is one of the best ways to improve at Fortnite and start dominating. However, there are a lot of options out there for controllers, so I’ll be covering the top five controllers for Fortnite players.

Let’s start with number five and work our way up to number one.

5. PowerA Fusion Pro 2

In fifth place, we have the PowerA Fusion Pro 2. It is one of the best bang for your buck controllers. With a retail price of $60 USD, this controller comes with all the best features, design, and quality for a ridiculously cheap price.

The PowerA Fusion Pro 2 is a wired Xbox Series X/S controller, and it comes in Black and White. It also has a Mappable Pro Pack with customizable paddles and swappable faceplates and thumbsticks, making this a very easy controller to customize. It also has three-way trigger locks, dual rumble motors, and magnetic impulse triggers.

4. Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller - PS4

Next, we have the standard issue PS4 Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller. This is a common pick for any controller player and is a wonderful starting ground to figuring out what fits your needs and what doesn’t.

The ergonomic shape and feel of the analog sticks and trigger buttons are perfect for building and editing. The biggest selling point for the Dualshock 4 is the ease of modifying it by purchasing other accessories.

Dualshock 4 has many possible accessories that will let you design the perfect controller for your exact needs, such as silicone grips, extra buttons, charging stations, KontrolFreek thumbsticks, and trigger extenders.

The Dualshock 4 controller comes in pretty much every colour you can think of and can even come with custom designs if you’re willing to pay a little more.

In conclusion, the Dualshock 4 earns its place at #4 because the controller alone is just standard, but it has the most customizable features than any other controller, if you have the money for it anyway.

3. ASTRO Gaming C40 TR Controller

In 3rd place, we have the ASTRO Gaming C40 TR Controller. Many people know the ASTRO brand for their amazing headphones, but few know that they also make high-quality controllers.

The C40 is one of the most expensive controllers on this list, with a retail price hovering near $250 USD. The C40 is completely customizable, it goes further than other controllers by allowing you to actually switch the d-pad and the analog sticks around to meet your needs.

Unlike the DualShock 4, the C40 comes with back buttons already as well as trigger stoppers. Extra buttons are a feature that is needed for Fortnite and the fact that this controller already has them is the most important.

2. Scuf Instinct

The Scuf Instinct comes with remappable paddles that were engineered for the fastest response times ever, easy interchangeable thumbsticks, and four customizable paddles.

Unlike other controllers, the feel of the Scuf Instinct is more natural. Rather than just a bunch of random extra buttons thrown onto the controller. It actually feels like the back paddles were meticulously placed in a position that Scuf knew would be perfect for every user.

The Scuf Instinct rear triggers no longer require you to purchase additional trigger stoppers. Pressing the triggers resembles that of a mouse click in the way that it requires as little movement as possible and feels almost digital.

With a retail price of $209 USD, the Scuf Instinct can be ordered from Scuf’s website. Within the website, you can select the customizable option to change the colour of the controller or to add a unique pattern. The entire controller has options for colour changing, including the bumpers, triggers, rings, and the d-pad. It also allows you to change the type of d-pad and analog sticks to find what suits your needs.

1. Scuf Impact

The best Fortnite controller of all time has to be the Scuf Impact PS4 Controller. This controller has absolutely everything you would ever need and features a similar design style to that of its Xbox counterparts.

Compared to other high quality controllers, the Scuf Impact is considerably cheaper. With a retail price of $159.99 USD, it has all the features needed to rise up through the ranks of Fortnite.

The back paddles sit in a more comfortable position than others and allow for a natural feeling without extending your fingers too much. The trigger stoppers built into the controller are completely customizable, meaning you can fully adjust the triggers to fine tune for your exact needs. Similar to the Scuf Instinct Pro, the Scuf Impact also has a digital mouse clicky feel to them.

The Scuf Impact already comes with an integrated rubberized grip to ensure comfortable and improved gameplay during those sweaty situations. The thumbsticks are also interchangeable and feature a lock system that ensures that excessive customization doesn’t deteriorate the state of the controller.

Conclusion

Each controller comes with its own unique feel to it. Before purchasing a controller, make sure you do your research and find one that will suit your exact needs!
