An 8BitDo yes, also a Steam deck which has almost all of the same inputs that a steam controller does, and I consistently prefer to game in my deck even with lower graphics and fps than on my gaming rig just because of the inputs.
8bitdo is great I have a couple of their controllers, but they don’t make anything that’s feature-competitive.
The only thing close is the dual sense edge, which costs twice as much. I have one and I bought a steam controller to replace it because the track pad is in an incredibly awkward location to the point I basically never use it and the battery life sucks
I’ve used the Steam Deck for so long now that the lack of track-pads is a serious downside with the 8bitdo controller (any traditional controller), and I own four Pro 2 controllers. They tie on gyro but the way it works where you can enable/disable it with grip actions on the Steam Controller has me interested. Plus I’m quite used to the Steam GUI when dealing with controller profiles now.
I mean, yeah. Consoles are getting money by selling their console low but accessories and games high. So it makes sense that controllers are average but cost a bit higher than the 3rd party ones.
8bitdo just sells controllers, therefore they can sell them at their actual price. They probably still sell them more than they are worth, but that how it is.
8bitdo consistently blows away first-party controllers. I even read the article to confirm that they do also make the comparison.
8BitDo controllers are great, I have one, but they don’t come near a steam controller (they are closer than first-party ones though).
You’ve got one in hand already?
