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

8BitDo makes a super solid controller for an unbeatable price. I have am Ultimate 2C and while I tend to prefer KBM in most games, it works fantastically for games that really need a controller. It's a major upgrade from the old 360 controller I was using. Biggest selling point for me was the price.

This is a reminder to check your stick

One big difference in stickdrift/jittering if you get a controller with a hall effect sensor. It has a whole different working principle compared to normal ones. As I see that gamesir has those, it will be a whole new level after you get used to the new geometry. Since i switched to an 8bitdo ultima

any good reliable alternatives to the regular nintendo switch pro controller?

8BitDo Ultimate 2C. It's about 30 USD and honestly very good value with Hall effect sticks and button feel. I prefer the D-pad to both the Pro 1 and Pro 2 controllers, if that's something that matters to you.

Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD

It’s like a magic trick where my money just disappears. My 8BitDo Ultimate 2C cost me $40 CAD; I could literally buy three of those for the pric

Advice for a better controller

Thanks for all the replies guys. I've just ordered the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C 2.4G, Hall Effect, Wireless. That seems to be a popular choice and was pretty cheap (for Norway) 😆

ultimate 2c wired controller doesnt work on switch

The 2C wired isn't compatible with switch unfortunately. You'll have to go for the Bluetooth edition. Imo 8Bitdo has a big problem with product variation with the ultimate series for this reason.

8BitDo Ultimate 2C half the price of a Pro controller and will never get stick drift.
