[8bitdo Controller ](8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller with Charging Dock, Wireless Pro Controller with Hall Effect Sensing Joystick, Compatible with Switch, Windows and Steam Deck (White) https://a.co/d/1HTQdIT)
Where I live it costs slightly more than an official ps5 dualsense. Is it worth paying more?
Depends on if you want a switch layout or not! I’m mostly emulating switch games so it’s perfect for me.
Very high quality product.

I’m mostly emulating switch games so for me this is heaven but for Xbox layouts there are probably better options for you!

Why not just use an Xbox controller? I love my Elite Series 2.
I’m assuming Steam Deck supports it since almost everything else does, I’m finally getting later this week.

Other than 8Bitdo and PS controllers the only other one I hear people talking about is GuliKit’s Kingkong Pro 2. Like 8Bitdo Ultimate it has hall effect sensors for the sticks and shouldn’t drift in the lifetime of the controller. It does have wired and wireless support, solid battery length and a gyroscope. GuliKit also makes the popular hall effect sensor replacements for Steam Deck and Switch. It’s at the top of my list to try but I haven’t gotten one yet.
