Gaming

Also using 8bitdo Pro 2, I like it. Bluetooth connection is somewhat crusty -- for some reason, games think that I'm holding LT, despite me not pressing it. Maybe it's a Linux Mint thing, I dunno. Works perfectly wired, though

I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guard. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

Really happy with it so far.

I've been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It's wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn't notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

It's a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

I'd like to see trigger stops but they haven't done that yet. I'd also like to have clicky face buttons so I'm considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

Not practical with anything else, but the Gamcube controller was so comfy. Def part of the 8bitdo ultimate gang now.

I'm using a Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro. The joystick and dpad modules are hot swappable and can be put in any orientation you prefer. They sell replacement joystick modules for $20, which is nice because you don't have to replace the whole controller if one gets stick drift.

I hated the Xbox controller when it first came out, probably because my child-sized hands couldn't reach the buttons comfortably. So it was Playstation style for a long time.

Now as an adult I've switched over to the Xbox style (easier to plug and play for Steam gaming) and I like it a lot. It feels a lot more durable than any other controller I can remember using. Though I feel the size and weight of the controller makes it slightly more difficult to use the bumper and trigger buttons compared to PS controllers, it's not a big deal because I'm not playing FPS these days.

PS3 (that’s the Dualshock iirc?), Steam Controller, and the Wii U Pro Controller (I quite like the two analog sticks at the top). In that order probably.

PS5 controller. Bought a broken one to fix and replace my xBox 360 controller I'd been using and it feels so much better. The trackpad is also useful for games with partial controller support like My Summer Car.
