8BitDo says its controllers are now compatible with Steam/SteamOS. The announcement specifically mentions three models and advises users to update their controllers and Steam client to the latest version.
Thanks for the recommendation. The 8bitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless has most of that, but competition is always a good thing.
I agree about the capacitive sticks though, I’ve never used gyro without that so I imagine it’d really only be useful for ADS and other situations where you’re already holding a button. Capacitive sticks were a genius move from Valve.
For me it beats the 8bitdo by a long shot. I think the 8bitdo only has 2 back buttons, does’t it? the vader has 4. And now with Steam input support they are all programmable. I like the feel of mechanical buttons too.
Yeah… I’ve been waiting for a steam controller 2 for way too long. The horipad is the only “traditional” controller that has capacitive joysticks… but beyond having that, the reviews for it are not that great.
