I wondered if anyone had any experience with a controller that they used while docked? If the 20-30 8bitdo is as good as a one of the premium controllers, id prefer to save some money, since I don’t own a console. If thought I’d ask the community, to see if anyone had any experience to share!
As far as I know, the gyro doesn’t work in bluetooth mode
I didn’t even know it had a gyro… Does the 8bitdo have gyro? And does it work well with the steam deck? I haven’t used gyro controls much in general but did find them super helpful for aiming when playing through Half Life 2 again on the deck itself.
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that 8bitdo controllers do have gyro, but specifically for Switch mode. Most of their switch compatible controllers have a relatively easy way to swap to it and connect via Bluetooth. Unfortunately that does mean no analogue triggers though
Since X-Box controllers don’t have a gyro, there is no nice way to slip the gyro data in when you’re pretending to be one. And X-Box is the standard way for controllers to talk to PCs.
Gyro works just fine on PC with my Dualsense
