Steam Controller shows signs of life, as leaker suggests that Valve has received its "first large quantity" shipments (www.pcguide.com)

Leaker here is Brad Lynch, who generally seems reliable as a leaker for Valve software and products. He was also the source for the leaked renders of the steam controller.

I love every 8bitdo I own. The pro2 is great, aside from the Nintendo face button labels, it’s become my daily driver and dev controller.

I'm the opposite, Xbox button labels drive me crazy. I learned the layout on the SNES, so it's hard for me to adjust. I've gotten better since playing more PC games on my Steam Deck since the XBox layout is the default, though I always choose PS button prompts if the game has the option.

Universal glyphs are better imo. In my head I call them north, south, east, west instead of a, b, x, y (I’m pretty sure that’s how the facebuttons are labeled in the Linux kernel, regardless of Xbox,Nintendo,ps)

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Yes, universal is also good. I like the PS layout because it uses shapes rather than the same letters in different places, though you of course have to memorize which letters are which buttons.

I play so many retro games that i just found it easier to memorize all the different controllers.

Did your 8bitdo only have nintendo buttons as an option? I was able to pick from three designs for my 8bitdo pro 2
