Best Video Game Controller for microphone passthrough quality

#1 Asus ROG Raikiri II
5.0

Headset passthrough is strong, with solid audio quality and low latency through the controller’s 3.5mm connection.

Pros: face button travel, trigger responsiveness

Cons: Start and Select button design, button label visibility

#2 Scuf Omega PS5 Controller
3.0

Microphone-related feedback is mostly about controls and limitations. Reviewers liked headset mute and volume controls, while one customer noted the controller itself lacks a microphone.

Pros: input lag, consistency across sessions

Cons: charging dock support, 2.4GHz dongle performance

#3 Hyperkin The Competitor
1.0

One wired-headset test found microphone output metallic, tinny, and unpleasant enough to warn buyers who depend on the controller's 3.5 mm mic path.

Pros: ergonomics, hand fatigue over long sessions

Cons: compatibility with PlayStation, microphone passthrough quality
