Recommendations for gamepad for Sekiro

[Sanjuro]

I've been playing Nioh with the keyboard and mouse, and found the controls somewhat frustrating even after rebinding. My understanding is that games like Nioh and Sekiro are (understandably) designed for a controller so don't always cross over well to keyboard/mouse.

Can anyone recommend a PC gamepad (not hideously expensive) that gets the job done for games like these?

Also, as someone that has never really had the need to use a gamepad, do you think it's even a good idea to try to transition to one or just make do with k&m?

Thanks in advance.

Xbox controllers are the goat.
In India, what I prefer for something uber cheap is the Redgear Pro. Real sturdy ones.

I usually play console games/port with a Xbox360 wireless controller since it's "integrated" with Windows.
However you can use any kind of controller since Steam can handle it.

Thanks, I'll probably get an Xbox controller. The reason I asked for recommendations was because I know there are cheaper controllers but was warned against getting those because they're clunkier/feel less comfortable.

I prefer DualShock 3, personally. DualShock 4 has Bluetooth and a headphone jack as well, though it also has the unfortunate touchpad.

From what I've heard, KB+M has been a workable option for a while now, it was just really poor in DS1 originally, so you can probably make do if you don't want a gamepad as well.

I tried keyboard and mouse in Nioh but have found it's less than ideal. he research done in advance. I guess it's probably going to be the same for Sekiro.

Nioh is made by a different developer, so I don't know.

There will always be only one supported (by devs) controller for PC: it's Xbox controller, why? because Microsoft owns Windows (unfortunately).
Often dualshocks doesn't even work correctly without third party programms.

Xbox One USB wired controller that I've purchased from ebay for $17.99 a few years ago is currently connected to my PC.
