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

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'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

The D-pad on the Switch 2 Pro controller is still not great

I'm getting up and down inputs when pressing left or right on my S2 Pro controller just like the S1 Pro. Can't play Tetris 99 with it. Sigh. It's the reason I got an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller but sadly doesn't work on the Switch 2 yet, needing a future firmware update.

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.

8Bitdo gamepad nasıl?

8Bitdo Pro 2 kullanıcısıyım. Gayet kaliteli kollar üretiyorlar. Hele Pro 3 ve Ultimate 2 gibi dehşet kollar da üretiyorlar. Yani basitçe hiçbir sıkıntı çekmeyeceksin.
