i am looking for a controller but i am not able to buy expensive controller like silver fox.
my budget is low so maybe there is a item on aliexpress that works.

if you know please let me know.

If you know how to use a soldering iron, a do-it-yourself construction might be an option. Have a look for BarButtons and/or Motobuttons.

The topic of controllers is something i have recently been looking into myself. There are some YouTuber's who have pretty good experiences with the budget controllers. I was very tempted for the low investment of 15 euros but after investigating further, had a change of mind. This one in particular caught my attention and is a good demo. https://youtu.be/Xnb5I7xKenI?si=4tSeusGI7tVs4dld

@Jörgen i am not so good with electric soldering. i will look a little more on youtube and maybe i can find an instruction. but if there is on aliexpress an item that is plug and play it would also be nice. i will search more.

@Bouke-Ent Just be sure to pick a waterproof one, as that video suggests!

This one seems to have OK-ish reviews:

(I'm not endorsing it, I'm just saying it has more than 5 reviews, and they aren't all 1 star. )

Those Bluetooth media controllers are so common that maybe MRA could create a mapping within the app since the buttons are pretty standard (+/- is up/down, rewind/fast forward is left/right, etc).
Then you wouldn't need the Key Mapper app either.
