![[Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck??](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fd4cca98-a7be-4144-8f61-28fa4ae00b62.jpeg){kind=link}
What controller are you using with the Deck?
My pick after searching around is the 8BitDo Ultimate C (link) which is the cheaper version of the ultimate with no dock. So far, it’s been working well for me. I just had to restart the Deck the first time after the pairing, since then, it recognize the device all the time.

What I cannot recommend is the Xbox One S controller because the bluetooth latency is absolutely terrible for anything that isn’t turn-based combat and even then navigating menus is still sluggish unless you are using the official MS wireless adapter. That requires a separate kernel module which you have to re-install every time there’s a SteamOS version update.
I have 3 of these and never an issue with BT connectivity or latency on the steam deck (non-oled model). Strange. I’ve never used the wireless adapter on the steam deck, so I can’t say anything about that.
Was this resolved on the OLED model? I heard it has improved BT latency.
No idea, my desktop has a mediatek mt72-something wireless card and the latency is still pretty bad on that.
