Depends on your pocket and how much you're able to or willing to tinker with software to get it to work.

With game consoles like PlayStation, their cheaper than gaming PCs of the same power and much easier to use, but their only use is for gaming and maybe media viewing.

With PCs if you can afford powerful setups you will get better graphics and performance and games are also cheaper to buy for PCs than consoles even taking pirated games into account, but gaming on PCs can also be stressful, especially for people who aren't technologically proficient.

For example you have to know how to balance performance and graphics of the games you play while with consoles you just plug and play because the games have already been optimised for the hardware.

Then there's also the issue of games not working, this is an issue especially for people who pirate games, you could buy or download a game then after installation it won't work, you now have the choice of either tinkering with a lot of software or giving up on the game.


So in the end it's your choice.

In my opinion, PC gaming is better only if you have the money to spend on good PC hardware and you're able to find your way around the occasional software issues.

It's using either Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz wireless. Confirm before you purchase a replacement. If you can get the model of your gamepad, you can run it through a Google search to know what type of wireless connection it is using.

I believe any other 2.4Ghz wireless dongle should work with your gamepad.
