Your favourite (offbrand) controller - eviltoast

I’m currently looking for another controller for the deck. Reddit threads and some articles usually mention Dualsense, Dualshock4, 8bitdo Ultimate and XBox controllers.

I want one with a trackpad this time because I miss it for point and click games and the PS controllers seem to be fitting, but I’d prefer the buttons to have ABXY, in the XBox ordering. Are there controllers where the trackpad has feedback like the deck has?

There are plenty offbrand controllers out there, are you using any of them and what’s your experience with them?

I got the BT 8bitdo ult, some cheap Switch controller and 2 old Xbox “The Duke” so far, for references.

    I’ve been lucky, found a cheap one nearby and got it, I like the pad a lot! It’ll take some time to get used to the low position of the abyx buttons and the lacking second joycon, but once I get it I’m set.

    Didn’t get it to work with Bluetooth yet, guess I have to update the controller firmware, but it’s fine with cable.

      Nice! The low abxy is tricky. Personally I don’t use mine much, but it’s such a unique design that when they were discontinuing it I had to pick one up.
