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.

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. It’s like a magic trick where my money just disappears. My 8BitDo Ultimate 2C cost me $40 CAD; I could literally buy three of those for the pric

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.

Humble Request

If you just need something basic until the the new steam controller, I heavily recommend the 8bitdo ultimate 2c wired edition. It's regularly on sale for 15 dollar or less, and in my opinion it's better than my 150 dollar xbox elite series 2 controller in almost every way. Well worth the price, even

3rd party Pro Controllers?

8BitDo's Ultimate 2C Bluetooh controllers are slightly cheaper than Pro Controllers, and I bought one on a whim, and somehow, I feel it blows even the official Pro Controller out of the water in more ways than one.

1k num controle é loucura quando um 8bitdo ultimate 2 tem tudo menos o trackpad por volta de R$200, ou o ultimate 2c sem gyro por 100 reais... Mas né, fazer o que
