I know xbox controller dongle don’t work on steamdeck, so it is only playable with Bluetooth. Is there much lag? Will i have to buy different controllers to play without wires with a friend locally?

What controller is the best or good enough to play (without wires and with unnoticeable lag)?

    The Xbox controller (the series version) works just great.

    There is no lag and the button layout is exactly the same as on the deck itself (that is based on the Xbox layout).

    Maybe the only downside is the fact that on the normal Xbox controller there are no ‘backbuttons’, any functions assigned to these buttons are lost when playing with a controller.

      It’s certainly not based on the Xbox layout since it has asymmetrical analog joysticks and the Deck isn’t. Also the triggers and such are labelled differently.
