I wish to use a wireless gamepad with my PC but I'm tired of buying just any kind. Most of the ones I bought are inferior; like the last one, the wireless dongle inadvertently got bad and so the pad became useless. I need a premium game pad which I can buy from around.
Any suggestions?

As @donvalo said you can get an Xbox one controller, or alternatively you can get a PS4 controller. They both work on laptops, desktops, and even some mobile devices. You might need additional software for the PS4 pad though.
You are best advised to order them from Amazon, possibly through people like @laredojohn and @Temitimx19.

Thanks a great deal. I began to look on Jumia and wasn't too sure if the ones there were original. Most single pads (Xbox 360 & PS4 Dual shock) are around 10k each. Is that the correct price?

You have to be careful, lest you lose both ways. If you want to order online, you might be better off bringing it in from Amazon USA - to avoid buying fake, overpriced crap. Alternatively, you can go to a physical market where you can easily secure a warranty.

True talk. Don't end up buying expensive crap.

Hmm! Thanks for the sincere advice guys. Priceless stuff you've given me.

I'd really appreciate those tips bro.

All the ones I've been seeing are fake. How do I identify the original?

Dude, never buy any XBox 360 controller in Nigeria... THEY ARE ALL FAKES. Believe me, I've tried them, several times

That's what I thought. But the ones I've been seeing on ALI express are just as fake. Where do I buy from then?

Amazon, If you can close eye for the shipping money. From testomonies. I haven't tried it myself but, I'm hoping to try it by the end of this year. Or if you have someone abroad send them money to buy and ship to you. Aliexpress is the home of china rubbish since they can't freely advertise on Amazon

Hmm okay. I'll consider that. Thank

I just got this from AliExpress and am having serious issues with it. They didn't send the wireless dongle along with it. I'm so pissed.

When someone advised you to get Xbox one controller or PS4 you didn't listen. .

Enter Amazon, search for xbox one s controller with Bluetooth. You just need to pair it with your PC via Bluetooth. 20k go get am for naija. .

Is that not the cable, what do you need the dongle for? If it's a charging cable, then it probably uses bluetooth

I have an original Xbox one controller for 10k.......if u r interested

It uses Bluetooth and is compatible with phones, but it installs as keyboard/mouse on my PC making it virtually unusable for games. That's why the dongle is needed. The USB cable only powers it.

I did, but I was looking in AliExpress instead. And most of what I found there were products that looked like Xbox controllers.

Broda, you have gotten yourself a mobile phone controller... enjoy!

Sigh.

That is normal for a Bluetooth wireless controller. Look at the controller very well, there should be a way to change its mode to X-input mode. On my generic Bluetooth controller, I just hold the "Home" button and press either "A", "B", "X", or "Y" to change its mode.
Are there any lights or indicators on your controller? This can give you a visual hint about what I am talking about.
