    While you’re all here what controller do you use for your deck? Been thinking of getting one of the hall effect 8bitdo ones, but I’m open to trying anything.

      whatever controller is closest and convenient for me when i happen to sit down, or whichever one is charged lol.

      I usually gravitate towards a wired xbox controller because its the one i have jurisdiction over in the household.

      Strongly recommend a wireless mouse/kb with one of those couch cushions that is desk shaped. very good for playing some of the less controller-friendly games. I got a half-keyboard with a joystick on the thumbrest that i havent used yet.

      I have the 8bitdo Pro 2 and I love it. Works great with or without a custom config, but in my opinion the config I use makes it worth it for the price.

        I went ahead and ordered the hall effect version of the Pro 2. Excited to try it out!

      Just got an Ultimate 2c. It doesn’t work well in some games. Specifically Sackboy, Moonstone Island

      If I had another go I’d probably purchase the 8bitdo Pro 2 Hall edition as it can switch between xinput and direct input.

      I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it’s basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I’m primarily a M&K guy.
