I personally use 8bitdo controllers now because i have had WAY too many xbox controllers get stick drift on me. Havent had to buy a new controller in over 2 years now. Ill be getting a steam controller when i need a new one though. It will go great with my docked steam deck.
Yeah sorry i meant that the latency is better with the steam controller when you connect to the deck / machine with the controller’s puck. having all valve hardware makes the user experience more streamlined.
Which 8bitdo controller do you own? I have one of their kb/m bundles with the detachable numpad and theyre great.
One of my Xbox one controllers has that drifting issue, but my original wired Xbox controller has been the most durable controller ive ever owned. I even bought one off ebay for my son.
You mention build quality, but thats the main reason I avoid new brands. And I cant do the track pads, personally. Ill most likely pick one up though.. I've nothing against the controllers or anything. Are they on back order like the rest of steam hw?

Steam input. Build quality. Trackpads.
