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.

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

The Canadian experience is seeing a cool tech announcement for $99 USD (~130CAD) and then watching it transform into $150 the moment it crosses the border.

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) 😆

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

Kontroller PC-hez.

én 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless-t vettem barátaimnak, tök jó árban van, főleg a gyártó oldalán, alapból halleffect stickek vannak benne és kényelmes is, használtam én is, gondolkodom hogy veszek egyet magamnak is

Long-Time PC (Keyboard and Mouse) Gamer Struggling HARD With Nintendo Switch Controls

FPS aiming skills doesn't translate to 3D platforming skills at all. Also, you're using the worst kind of controller for that, get a pro controller. 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is great and affordable.
