If you want to break out of the $60 to $70 range of controllers, third-party gamepads offer much more choice. Here are some options to help pick the best one for you. There are countless gamepads and other types of controllers you can hook up to your PC. There's nothing wrong with playing Fortnite with your current mouse and keyboard (in fact, PC purists would say you'll play even better than with a gamepad), but almost every other game you pick up from GOG.com, Humble Bundle, or Steam will feel much better with dual analog sticks under your thumbs.
If you mostly want to play games on your PC-for the good reason that it has the largest library of titles spanning the widest range of ages, audiences, genres, prices, and hardware requirements-you should probably invest in a controller. That's why every major game console comes with a gamepad or two, and why they all can be connected to your PC with some tinkering. Most games, though, play best with some form of dedicated controller. Maybe you don't mind using a touch screen for smartphone puzzles. Maybe you want a keyboard and mouse for your shooters and strategy titles. You can't play video games without a good control system.
