    I got a good deal for their older Pro 2 model last year and yeah it’s pretty good for the price honestly. Linux functionality is a bit dodgy though. Like, it kinda works but I need to set it up regularly for some reason. Switch mode is only partially supported and I can’t get the back buttons to work whatsoever on any mode. I switched to the Sony DualSense for most things but I’m willing to pay a premium price for the Steam Controller.

    Back to your point though: Yes, there are good alternatives. Especially if you’re looking for something specialized like N64 emulation. 8BitDo got it for you. But man the Steam Controller seemss neat.

      8BitDo regularly releases firmware updates for their controllers (and dongles!). You might want to try the missing functionality after an update.
