At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

Steam controller obviously (for everything other than retro gaming which often requires a dpad).

Not familiar with that, is it the trackpad one?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Controller

That thing confuses me

Why are the buttons below, why is there a stick if there are pads

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 9 points 8 months ago (4 children)

The stick is better for movement, while the pads are better for aiming. And the buttons work fine where they are.

Arguably the left side pad is a bit useless for gaming itself, but its nice to have two pads for desktop navigation and using the on screen keyboard that is build into steam.
