I am searching for a controller to play emulated switch games on my pc. My requirements are motion controls, good build quality and responsiveness, and preferably hall effect sticks to make the controller last longer avoiding drift.

Some of the options I have: GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro - 47€ GameSir G4 Pro - 48€ 8bitdo Ultimate - 50€ GuliKit King Kong 2 - 5X€ GuliKit King Kong 2 Pro - 60€

And are there any controllers for the sub 50€ price range which are better? All the ones I have mentioned are on that price on aliexpress, except for the GuliKit ones which are a bit higher but if they are REALLY worth it I might stretch a bit more...

I found all of this options in the official aliexpress stores of those brands. Which have great prices compared to other stores.

Motion control support on PC is rather rare as almost every PC game uses xinput, and therefore almost every controller will simply identify itself as an Xbox controller for the best compatibility. You basically have to check on a controller by controller basis if and how motion controls can be enabled on PC.

I do know that some of the 8bitdo controllers can be configured to show up as Switch Pro Controllers on PC with working motion controls.

I have been researching a bit and it seems you can use them if you connect to your pc but with the switch mode or something like that.

Is that what you mean?
