      Also no gyro controls, back buttons… Several other things you miss out on

          Note that if you’re only after Gyro and Back buttons, 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 Wireless also has these features, and they work fully with Steam after a firmware update.

          If you’re looking for dual touchpads then yeah, Valve tax.

              Gyro doesn’t work on Linux for that controller unless you’re using Bluetooth. You need the proprietary software.

                  It does, I use it exclusively with the 2.4g dongle on Linux.
                  You do unfortunately need the proprietary software for the initial firmware update (it works in a VM), but afterwards all you need is to ensure your distro has the proper Udev rules installed and to hold B when booting the controller.

                      Ah so they still haven’t fixed the issue where it reverts from XInput mode every time. Glad at least it works now, though.
