Reply to comment by AcornWoodpecker in Valve answers our burning Steam Deck questions — including a possible Steam Controller 2 by retroanduwu24

Seems like the XBox Elite controller is well supported on PC and phones. With some 3rd party software it's pretty customizable.

I need an Xbox controller for Witcher 3, for some reason, the stream controller doesn't swap when swimming and similar situational shifts on that game - I did buy it on GOG and run in big picture.

But in no way are they comparable unless the d pad is touch? Seriously, flicking the ball camera, swirl to scroll, 15 button touch menu that can be a squares or radial, macro 4 way directions...

Seriously if you haven't dived into what it does, especially with haptics, it's too late. It really was just an incredible controller. I say was, I still have mine and find new ways to play more ergonomically. No Xbox controller though, still a favorite for fps.

No touch(y) on the Elite but it does have the paddles which means 10 total buttons. So no, not the same but workable for most games.

They're magnetic right? That part is cool. I haven't really ever found use for the other finger toggles, but have many claw hand friends that rank or whatever it's called these days.
