A professional gamer. A top-ranked esports athlete. A renowned figure in competitive shooter circles—I'm none of these things. But could that be down to my choice of controller? Could something that's a step up from the standard Xbox pad I use for PC and console alike up my game, quite literally?

The Thrustmaster H.E.A.R.T. (a rather tortured acronym, standing for “Hall Effect AccuRate Technology”—more on what that means shortly) promises to do just that, offering greater accuracy and responsiveness to deliver improved in-game performance, without breaking the bank. In essence, it aims to be an entry-level pro controller.

A gentle texture on the grips and triggers ensures fingers aren't likely to slip, thumbsticks have a satisfying degree of resistance, and those additional paddles sit comfortably under the middle finger on each hand.
