It’s very frustrating to buy a controller for the Steam Deck. There are all sorts of compatibility issues and restrictions. The PlayStation controller seems to be the one that best accommodates the variety of inputs that the Steam Deck has, including the trackpad. However, the button layout is nothing like the Deck, which uses the Xbox controller pattern.

These are my impressions, but I may be wrong. Any suggestions?

      No, you have to switch between gyro or analog triggers. Can’t have both at the same time.

        Also the 8bit ultimate Bluetooth the button layout is Nintendo and not Xbox (A and B are switched)

        The 2.4 ultimate has the Xbox layout but requires the dongle which I find super frustrating.

          They sell replacement buttons that are easy to switch
