Hello all, I’m looking to buy 4-8 controllers for some couch coop games and haven’t found any clear winners so far. I’m leaning 2.4Ghz as I’ve heard problems about bluetooth controllers disconnecting on the steam deck and always appreciate less latency. I also don’t need any fancy features like gyro or touchpads, just the generic xbox-like style would be great. Also my last problem is that every one I’ve found requires a dongle per controller, to which I’m wondering if 4-8 dongles next to each other would cause interference?
In essence: if anyone has recommendations on controllers for couch coop games on the steam deck where the main priority is connection stability, it’d be much appreciated!
I have an 8bitdo, but I needed to learn how to use xboxdrv to get it working and map the buttons correct (nintendo style vs playstation). But now it works well. Unfortunately havent gotten the paddles to work at all with this method, but I hear that isnt possible if its connected as a generic usb device.
Yeah. the extra paddles seem to be restricted to 8bitdo’s configuration software which doesn’t work on Linux, as far as I know.
