SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Forty4 Wireless Gaming Controller using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the joysticks & game port category. Forty4's joysticks & game port lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for joysticks & game port of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Forty4 lists compatibility as Windows (XInput and DirectInput), PS3, and Switch only. PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 are explicitly not supported.

The M buttons store macros. You can assign a complex sequence using A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, L3, LT, RT, R3 and the up/down/left/right direction keys, then trigger it with one press.

Will it run on Windows 11?

Yes. The controller supports Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and works in both XInput and DirectInput modes so older DirectInput-era PC games are covered too.
