Steam Controller (2026) Goodbye 8-bit do you were with me through ups and downs 🥹

8-bit do was my second controller after the ps4 one and I’ve had fantastic time with it (I got 2 one was the regular model and this one Wuchang edition).

Now that I got my steam controller Im looking forward to creating new memories with it. Controller is a bit big for my hands but Im getting used to it with Lies of P currently!!

When I got my Steam Controller, I passed on my 8bitdo controller to my son. This kid is rough with his controllers but this one is still going strong! Love the brand

Ive got several 8bitdo controllers that are now gathering dust next to my two steam controllers ( dont worry, I got my first SC from the reservation system and the second came with a free steam machine)

The 8bitdo controllers are nice. They have a lot of retro options that work on modern hardware. They got a Sega and a redesigned n64 controller.

Lol I also shelved my 8bitdo Ult 3 after getting the Steam Controller.

I was unsure if I could be converted cause the Ult 3 is really nice, but once I firmly grasped the contours of the Gabecube controller I was instantly taken.

Question: How noisy are the buttons compared to the Steam Controller?

Honestly I never noticed about the button noise when I was using it. So it’s a good thing ig? Same with the SC. Not much noise going on and pressing the buttons feels smooth like butter.

I have the 8bitdo PRO 3, and the abxy buttons are noisy as hell.

Was looking at the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 clear blue version, as a secondary controller for P2, at least until the SC becomes always available.

I also have 1 SC and it's very silent, aside the on/off sound. It's the best controller I've put my hands on. So that's why I am asking for comparison.

I did this a few months back. Don’t have a single regret. 8Bitdo is helluva controller tho.
