What controller are you using with the Deck?

My pick after searching around is the 8BitDo Ultimate C (link) which is the cheaper version of the ultimate with no dock. So far, it's been working well for me. I just had to restart the Deck the first time after the pairing, since then, it recognize the device all the time.

I have a chinese controller called the Vader 3 Pro and it's insanely nice. It costed me $60CAD shipped and delivered.

Leagues ahead of my previous favourite, the Sony Dualshock 4

I second this controller. Mechanical buttons and no drift sticks. I feel like it’ll last a while. Only downside is its software. It feels like installing malware. So I did it on a vm of windows. Updated it and configured and never used again. But works great on my deck via bt and dongle in brazzite.
