I’m currently looking for another controller for the deck. Reddit threads and some articles usually mention Dualsense, Dualshock4, 8bitdo Ultimate and XBox controllers.
I want one with a trackpad this time because I miss it for point and click games and the PS controllers seem to be fitting, but I’d prefer the buttons to have ABXY, in the XBox ordering. Are there controllers where the trackpad has feedback like the deck has?
There are plenty offbrand controllers out there, are you using any of them and what’s your experience with them?
I got the BT 8bitdo ult, some cheap Switch controller and 2 old Xbox “The Duke” so far, for references.
They were $5 each when discontinued – I bought 2 more then (which iirc was the limit per person). That said, I’m frankly never reselling mine. It took me 20 years to find a controller that let me play strategy from the couch comfortably, and I need to maintain at least one working one indefinitely (until there’s another good option).
So, I totally get why they’re pricey now. Is it worth it? There’s literally no alternative, so in that sense, I guess yes.
