Pros
The typical gamepad, with the primary benefit being the affordable pricing. This is the option with the lowest price.
Cons
The gamepad has a maximum service life of one year, after which the joysticks begin to drift in their respective positions. Additionally, the rubber covering that is found on the joysticks starts to delaminate and peel off, which is why it is best to get protective rubber pads as soon as possible.
