Should I buy the Steam Controller for gyro or are there better options?

I’ve tried a few controllers with gyro on Rivals (Dual sense, dual sense edge, 8bitdo pro 3, Nintendo pro controller, and steam deck gyro) and the Steam Deck’s gyro has always felt a bit better than all my other controllers with the least amount of configuration and it is my preferred way to use gyr

Pro 3 vs Pro 2 vs Ultimate 2; anyone own all 3?

The Pro 3 has the same clicky dpad has the Ultimate C. The Pro 3 dpad is a downgrade from the great Pro 2 dpad. You have to be very deliberate to do shoryukens on the Pro 3 and accuracy is much worse than Pro 2. Pro 3 dpad is too stiff, too clicky, false diagonals, lack of pivot, and fatiguing. It's

Switch over older emulator games

Won’t work without gyro. You can fudge the cursor with the mouse but you’ll need a gyro controller for the tilt levels. Not sure how good steam gyro integration is, but my 8bitdo pro3 doesn’t work unless it’s on switch mode and that’s spotty

The new Xbox Elite 3 and Cloud controllers has been leaked.

I bought an 8bitdo pro 3 and I gotta say I'm not happy with it. First one I returned but both have the same issues. Both the thumb pad and the analog sticks are inaccurate. I can not get a consistent single direction on either. I use it on my switch and the switch pro is just a better controller.

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

8bitdo Pro 3, Playstation colouring

The 8BitDo Pro design and layout (aside having different letters than the classic PS ones) is the same as the DS PS4/5 controllers.. the only big difference i'd say is the DualSense does feel a bit higher quality (at least from my 8bitdo Pro 2) and the mechanical triggers (especially with PS titles
