Your favourite (offbrand) controller (possumpat.io)

I'm currently looking for another controller for the deck. Reddit threads and some articles usually mention Dualsense, Dualshock4, 8bitdo Ultimate and XBox controllers.

I want one with a trackpad this time because I miss it for point and click games and the PS controllers seem to be fitting, but I'd prefer the buttons to have ABXY, in the XBox ordering. Are there controllers where the trackpad has feedback like the deck has?

There are plenty offbrand controllers out there, are you using any of them and what's your experience with them?

I got the BT 8bitdo ult, some cheap Switch controller and 2 old Xbox "The Duke" so far, for references.

They really need to release a new version.

Or heck just another run of the original.

So true. Got the SC and the Link, both awesome pieces of kit. The SC had a bit of a learning curve but if you stuck with it, it was worth all the effort and then some. Making your own control scheme was almost like a little mini game. I really miss those huge track pads now that I'm on the Deck, it's just not quite the same.
