Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD
Sorry if this the wrong sub to ask this question, but why even buy the Steam controller if you aren't going to use the touch pads? For me that's the selling point, but if I didn't need the touch pads I would just stick to an 8bitdo ultimate 2, way more affordable and plenty of paddles/buttons.

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.

Old man needs help
if you need a controller, an 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless can often be found for ~$20 and does the same thing for casual use

Came here to see if the Ultimate 2 was worth it.
Came to see if this was worth it and the first post I see here is this exact controller having a flaw innits hair trigger design followed by another posts also saying there's a flaw in the design.
Is this controller worth it? $50CAD seems like a good deal but if they're not overly good, should I

First impressions of ultimate 2: wuchang
I’ve never really used a controller before, but I’m very surprised by the quality of this one, especially considering its affordable price. The only issue I’m facing is that my hands are on the bigger side, which makes them feel a little tired after hours of gaming but I sorely only play a few games
