1 year agoWhy not just use an Xbox controller? I love my Elite Series 2.
I’m assuming Steam Deck supports it since almost everything else does, I’m finally getting later this week.

This would also open it up for running SteamOS VMs on Apple Silicon Macs. I was surprised how few distros actually supported arm I switched over and none of the gaming oriented ones I looked for had ARM support.
Other than 8Bitdo and PS controllers the only other one I hear people talking about is GuliKit’s Kingkong Pro 2. Like 8Bitdo Ultimate it has hall effect sensors for the sticks and shouldn’t drift in the lifetime of the controller. It does have wired and wireless support, solid battery length and a gyroscope. GuliKit also makes the popular hall effect sensor replacements for Steam Deck and Switch. It’s at the top of my list to try but I haven’t gotten one yet.
