Sweet. Already had one for steam deck because of the gyro. This is a nice addition.

8bit makes really great controllers πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ» Good quality with reasonable price, at least if you don't live in a country run by a dictator 🫣🫒

Yeah, I recently got the SNES styled one for emulation and have been really impressed with the quality. It's at least as good as the original.

The one that looks like SNES but in the shape of a PS4 controller? I got that too but it has these funny back buttons I have no idea what to do with. Otherwise very happy

Too bad you won’t be able to buy them in the US: https://www.polygon.com/gaming/566642/8bitdo-pauses-us-shipments-trump-tariffs

I’m still holding out hope for a proper Steam Controller 2 with Deck control parity.

[–] Drathro@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Now we just need their software and firmware updates to run in Linux native (or even wine, I'm not that picky). Excellent controllers for the cost.

I thought fwupd supported 8bitdo controllers already.

[–] somedev@aussie.zone 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Awesome, I've been wanting to get some new controllers for my deck - without having those back buttons working it seemed pointless.

[–] TyrianMollusk@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

It's not really pointless, just because you can easily remap them to replace the abomination that is stick clicking.

What made you think the commenter was from your own failing country?

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Luckily it looks like they are in Australia, based on their instance.

Ah, I didn't even notice. Cool, best of luck to OP then!

[–] toastmeister@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago
