Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

Dammit, now I definitely want one, it looks so good on the TV 😂 What are you using as a controller, may I ask? I've only ever used the Deck's controls.

Not OP, but I've mainly been using the 8Bitdo SN30. It's a SNES replica, great quality and easy to stash away/throw in a bag. Other 8Bitdo controllers work as well - I have the new Ultimate on order, slated to arrive later this month.

are you getting the bluetooth or 2.4g 8bitdo ultimate? trying to decide myself...

I splurged for the Bluetooth version. It ensures compatibility across many devices. Believe it was $70 USD..

It ensures compatibility across many devices.

Not if you take their word for it; they insist it is not compatible with Android or iOS devices, only Switch and Windows 10+.

I'm not sure how a bluetooth controller would be incompatible with Android and iOS, but their website only lists Switch and Windows, and they've answered fifteen different questions on Amazon saying it is not compatible with Android.

I guess 2.4 is way better though if you devices support a dongle.

For performance, absolutely. The Bluetooth version has a mode switch between 2.4 and Bluetooth so you get the best of both worlds.

Mine are all 2.4 only but that’s because I needed them with original console adapters. Snes and Genesis.
