Comment on How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI also use and recommend Xbox controllers. Although I wish I knew about these cool high end brands before I bought. I grew up in a time where all third party controllers were trash, and I carried that opinion for too long.

Unfortunately even the “cool high-end brands” don’t seem to beat the Xbox controller.

I read this thread and I saw 8bitdo recommended a lot and I’ve seen them recommended elsewhere. The hall effect sticks seem to be the gold standard.

8bitdo ultimate v2 via dongle is alright except it disconnects by itself every now and then and refuses to reconnect unless you walk right up to the dongle and try turning the controller on a few times.

Same and the reviews seem good but not great. Cheap feel, mushy buttons, trigger issues when used long term, and the triggers not being ultra precise.
Seems like a good controller but if I’m going to buy another one I want to buy a great controller.
