My 7-year old has been showing interest in gaming on my Xbox, but she struggles with the size of the controller.  I've tried googling for a smaller controller, but the results are inconclusive.  Has anyone bought such a thing, and care to make a recommendation.  Most of what I can find are wired controllers, and I'd prefer a wireless controller.  But most importantly, it needs to feel comfortable for a child to hold and use.

Following - I have small one one for the 360 and it's great.

 

My 5 year old is able to play games like rayman legends with a full size but struggles with 3d games that need both sticks.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

I can vouch for the quality for the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller that toejam316 has linked above. I have the Switch/PC version (wireless) which is exactly the same internal specs as the upcoming Xbox version (wired only). It is the size and shape of a PS4 controller. It has a lot of customization you can do via an app and also has couple of shortcut buttons behind the controller that can be re-mapped for whatever key you want which is the main sell for this. The Xbox version of the controller is currently pre-order that I have also placed and will not be released until December overseas and January in NZ. 





Do whatever you want to do man.
