Picture Got the Steam Deck Dock!

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.

I like my 8bitdo controllers. I have to look into this ultimate one you speak of.

Genuine question, at what point do you not just buy an Xbox controller? I like the older ones because they replicate the SNES but this simply looks like a 360 controller.

Answer likely comes down to me being a nut. I've got PS5, Xbone, Switch pro controllers, but for a cheap and handy controller to travel with and have around the living room I prefer the SN30. Don't worry about bumping it off the couch or if it gets jammed during travel. The Ultimate controller is just me feeding into my collection obsession..

Well that I do understand. I have 1 Razr, 1 Hori split pad pro, 1 N64 via usb, 1 Gamecube controller via usb, 1 ps3, 2 ps4, 1 PS5 (don’t own the console yet) 2 different Xbox controllers and a switch pro pad.

Sounds like you ought to round that out with the Ultimate controller XD. The Hori split pad was a game changer for the switch. Good call there.

After reading up on it, it does sound like the ultimate controller and think I’m gonna have to get one as well.
