What is a Gamepad ?
A gamepad (also called joypad or controller), is a type of game controller held in two hands, where the fingers (especially thumbs) are used to provide input.
Which devices can be connected with Gamepad ?
They are typically the main input device for video game consoles. Well, not anymore. Nowadays gamepads are available for almost all devices like, pc, mobile, tablets, etc.
Why Use Gamepad ?
Playing racing/Duel games with a keyboard is not so comfortable. Same is with certain FPS games. So, here a gamepad is very useful and makes gaming 10 times more fun.
Also for anyone who has ever played with a gamepad on a console knows how good it feels.
Here are our top picks on the best gamepads under 1000 Rs. in mid-2017 for PCs, X-BOX, and PS4s.
Should You buy a cheap Gamepad?
My personal advice would be no , as the keys often become unresponsive with time and you have to expend extra force to get them working. The better way would be to save up some money and get good quality controller that will make your gaming experience great.
But if you still want to go with a cheap one then check out these options below.
