Cheap alternative to not hear the clack-clack noise from analog sticks

Analog sticks were never a problem for me. I HAD an 8bitdo Pro 3 and the BUTTONS were a big problem for me with how loud they were. Compared to the Steam Deck and Steam Controller, those two have pretty quiet buttons. But nice hack though.

I don’t understand the debate over the price for the Steam controller

Eh, wouldn't say that his statement is untrue either. It depends on the specific controller and the games you play. I've had 3 8bitdo controllers over the years: sn30 pro (1st version which looked more like a snes controller), pro 2 wired controller and pro 3 in gamecube colorway. Sn30 pro has VERY

New controller 'optimized for Switch 2' with TMR joysticks goes up for pre-order with an early bird price cut

Tbh I'm not a huge fan of the extra top bumpers over back paddles. I don't really see the usefulness for myself, since I'll still be using the same poonter fingers to hit them. I see that the new 8bitdo Pro3 will have 2 back buttons and 2 extra bumpers, and I'd prefer that it had 4x back paddles ins

Best controller for SF6 on Switch 2: 8BitDo Pro 3 or Ultimate 2?

i have an 8bitdo pro 3 and i tried a bit to play with it and i have to say that the D-pad is absolutely dogshit for SF6, you either have to get a cloth thimble thing for your finger or you'll get blisters and the buttons in general don't feel very responsive, i'd suggest getting a good 3rd party fig

Ultimate Software V2 won't detect my controller...

I think the pro3 will work, I have a pro 2 and it worked with the software. I think yours didn't because you got a wired version with less features. I actually hated using the 8bitdo software, I got tons more mileage out of the $20 red switch/switch2 controller from walmart that let you just hold a
