    So, I’ve been wanting to buy a controller to play classic games.

    After doing some research I got an 8bit Do classic 2, which looked and felt great, but I guess couldn’t work with my Bluetooth.

    Should I just get an Xbox controller, or hold out for this new Nintendo tech (I only game on PC and Switch, currently).

    I’ve bought three controllers for my PC over the years, and none of them have been universally usable.

      I vastly prefer the PlayStation DualSense to the Xbox Series controller, so look into that. It’s a little more expensive but the build quality is much higher and it includes an internal rechargeable battery. Oh, and the wireless connection actually works reliably, Xbox pad disconnects constantly and it’s infuriating. Updated the firmware, etc, lots of other people online with the same issue. It’s honestly embarrassing for Microsoft that this is their standard controller. Feels like they’re trying to nudge people to spend more for the Elite controller.

      The Steam Controller 2 looks like it’s going to be amazing; I do miss the extra Steam Deck inputs when I use my DualSense. Those back grip buttons are so useful.

      If you want to play just controller games, this one is probably overkill and maybe a bit bulky. I guess the HD haptics are neat.

      Then again, it likely won’t be any more expensive than the scam amount of money microsoft charges for their basic, non-HAL effect, non-gyro, basic haptics controllers.
