My dream controller would have these features:

Gyro: I want to map gyro to stick, mouse, or native game modes depending on what I need. I want it to be flexible.

Advanced audio controls: The Turtle Beach Recon pad has amazing audio processing that is very useful and not a gimmick. It can do things like EQ presets, game & chat volume mix, mic monitoring, and a mode that boosts the sounds of footsteps so you can locate your enemies. This mode is almost like cheating! It works very well.

Keyboard: I usually plug a keyboard and mouse to consoles but if I ever game on the TV away from my desk I also want a keyboard on my controller.

Wired: I don’t care if the controller can work wirelessly too, but I really want a wired option as I prefer to game wired and not worry about batteries at all.

What features would you like on the perfect controller?

@gpowerf Just take the 8bitDo Ultimate, switch the left stick and the d-pad around and maybe add the haptics from a DS5.

I'd take four separate buttons for the d-pad, maybe. And if you're in sci-fi land, I'd like to split it in two, JoyCon style, just for ergonomics.
