So I don't necessarily buy everything from Sony, Nintendo or any first party company. Often times I'll find third party vendors that sell accessories that are really great a useful (my goto is Amazon). Below are a few I've bought over the years. Do you have any good accessories ppl might be interested that aren't first party?

One of my favorite and adds hours to your Playstation controller and even charges while playing. Costs only around $15 and mounts in the back of controller.

Third party PSVR 2 controller charges. Around $20 and actually does every thing the first party one does and the controllers from what I heard fit better and have no issues setting right in.

Third party PS5 controller charger but my fav thing is the PS5 stand with Led lights at the base. PS5 fits perfectly on it and it's sturdy, plus it lights up! Only paid $18 on Amazon.

Really? I see them all the time but my fingers never move off the controllers so I don't buy them.

Where it’s at.
For me, the Hori Split Pad Pro for the Switch, the Brook universal adapter for PS2, the Thrustmaster Ferrari 451 wheel and the Hori Arcade Stick Mini

I had never used them before the PS5. Just got them on a whim because they were 10 bucks, and my launch DS4 sticks are getting very bald and slick.

I think you just have to try them. I never had issues with the dual shock sticks, but they just don't feel ideal to me. I don't want a convex bubble inside a concave top, that is such a fucking stupid design. I find the nub is too small and I don't like the ridge.

Literally all these problems gone immediately when you pop on a couple of these babies.

I had a third party 360 conteoller for PC gaming back in the day, it was pretty good. Otherwise, uhh, the Arkanoid controller? Yeah, not much tolerance for third party stuff here.

I remember I bought a third party controller for my SNES back in the day with turbo buttons. My 9 year old self could not believe it. Endless combos in MK3.

I miss light guns in general, the one packed with Time Crisis was badass
