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)?

    I’ve bounced from Xbox series to PS5 Dualsense to 8bitdo Ultimate.

    Dualsense is just the most seamless one with no latency issues and feels amazing, even has gyro which makes it the best to me. But I only use it if I’m playing PS2 or an FPS. Haven’t owned a PlayStation since the 2, but this is a very good controller.

    Ultimate controller is my standard controller for PC gaming. Can swap between Switch and Steam Deck very easily, but a big con is having gyro and the rear paddles not usable unless in Bluetooth mode. Also sometimes the 2.4ghz dongle doesn’t connect, so having to unplug and plug back in gets annoying.

    Lastly Xbox. Never was an Xbox guy but wanted to give it a shot. Decent ergonomics, but needed a controller update on Windows to be usable which was a hassle(I have a MacBook). No gyro, the loudest of the three controllers, needs updates every now and again or it won’t work. Not a good experience.
