What premium gift would you get for a Steam Deck lover who’s already well-equipped?

I have the Deckmate stuff by Mechanism, and I really like it - it’s basically a little bracket that attaches to the back that you can then attach accessories to, like a kickstand or gaming pillow. The gaming pillow is pretty neat - it was kind of a luxury purchase, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised

So I ordered a ps5…what controller do I get?

Umm, they give you the perfect one to use in the box with the PS5! I also moved from Switch (Pro Controller/8Bitdo Pro 2) to PS5 and the default Duelsense was good enough for me and feels good in the hand. I would say there isn't as big a need and thus a market for 3rd party controllers on PS5 as th

I'm just gonna say it. I love the Series S, and symmetrical controllers are fine. They're not for everyone and that's totally fine, but I'm glad they both exist.

8bitdo Pro 2 for Xbox. I love it overall. It's my primary controller for PC mostly and I feel right at home with it, since I grew up with PS controllers. It's also hall effect, so no stick drift and it has back buttons but I find myself rarely using them. My only complaint would be that there are no

It was fun and horrible parrying the inquisitors.

Ah, I see! Touch controls, uh. I decided long ago it was unplayable for me, and got a controller. 😂 8bitdo Pro 2 with phone holder works perfectly: Look, the official promo photos even use Dead Cells. 😂

I bought The Duskbloods machine!

I have the 8bitdo pro 2 and it's been really good, I've been using it to stream games from my pc to my tablet mostly. It's nice knowing the sticks won't start drifting in two months lol.

What are the chances Steam crashing today?

My 8bitDo Pro 2 controller works fully on any game that I have wanted to try it on. Unless someone is already in the market for a controller I really don't see the advantage in buying this new one.

[Gamers Nexus] Impressive Repairability: Valve Steam Controller Tear-Down & Disassembly

Batteries, especially in controllers, absolutely should be replaceable. My 8bitdo pro 2 is imo the best option - li ion battery, but you can swap it with AAs as well. It's a shame 8bitdo stopped it afterwards.

8Bitdo Ultimate Controller Rubber Grip

8Bitdo's official website sells replacement thumbsticks but they can be pretty pricey depending on shipping and country. I'm new to the Ultimate 2C controller so I'm unsure if it'll work but if it's the same as fixing the Pro 2 controller, replacement Dualsense thumbsticks may also be possible and w
