What would you say is your best Steam Deck accessory and why?

I recently just got an 8bitdo Utimate 2 Wireless controllers and I didn't know it will be so good. I used to play with the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro and although it works fine, the TMR joysticks and charging dock included in the Ultimate 2 Wireless are truly the gamechangers.

Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD

Sorry if this the wrong sub to ask this question, but why even buy the Steam controller if you aren't going to use the touch pads? For me that's the selling point, but if I didn't need the touch pads I would just stick to an 8bitdo ultimate 2, way more affordable and plenty of paddles/buttons.

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types?

It's a major upgrade from the old 360 controller I was using. Biggest selling point for me was the price.

New money making scheme just dropped.

I have an 8bitdo ultimate 2c switch controller. It has a mode where you assign a key to turbo, so it will essentially button mash A if you hold down the button. There's also a setting where it automatically button mashes A, and it shuts it off when you press the button. I used that and walked away f

Boost on rb got me breaking rbs

First-party Xbox controllers are the worst for this. I was going through a controller every 1-2 months because of this as well. I ended up switching to 8bitdo and now I have the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and I can't recommend it enough.
