What controller do you recommend for steam gaming? Is the ps5 controller good? I heard the Xbox controller had some latency issues. I’ve been using the ps4 controller and have noticed a slight amount of latency.

The 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth is awesome! Bought it when it launched, and so far, haven’t regret it.

8BitDo ultimate 2.4GHz is amazing. Uses a usb dongle for low latency, but the latest update also enabled a bluetooth mode. It also has a charging dock and the best dpad I’ve used.

Yeah I was a staunch user of the Dual Sense but once I got the charging dock and low latency with the 8bitdo I haven’t looked back. Also back buttons are handy

Oh yeah I forgot it had back buttons, they’re always useful for games that aren’t optimized for controllers. Especially with steam input, since you can make radial menus to do a lot of things.

DualSense works out of the box via USB-C or Bluetooth. Feels very responsive to me.

I alternate between a PS4 controller and Switch Pro controller. Overall I think the PS4 controller is more comfortable and the touchpad on it is really convenient for using as a mouse.

PS4 controller forever. It ‘just works’ and I’m used to it after the decades. Can’t stand the PS5 controller. It feels too big like the first xbox controller.
