I wondered if anyone had any experience with a controller that they used while docked? If the 20-30 8bitdo is as good as a one of the premium controllers, id prefer to save some money, since I don't own a console. If thought I'd ask the community, to see if anyone had any experience to share!

There are LOADS of better suggestions than this, but I’ve been using the Google Stadia controller after converting it to BT mode and it’s honestly excellent. It’s got Xbox face button labels, but Sony Trigger labels so it’s just like the steam deck default controls. It feels great, rumble is really strong, and it has a pretty good battery!

But other people are suggesting things like 8BitDo ultimate controller and Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro which are probably better and definitely easier to get ahold of.

Thank you for this. I know it was discussed a while back, glad to see it was implemented. Time to dust off my old Stadia controller!
