minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up17·10 months agoI use the steam controller. Nothing wrong with it in my mind (except maybe the fact that it uses batteries and is slightly too large).
minus-squareichbean@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up17·edit-210 months ago except maybe the fact that it uses batteries I disagree. Because of swappable batteries my controller is still relevant 7 years and half worn down stick later. If I were to complain, it’s about unpleasant hollow sound on trackpads and L1/R1 button clicks.

minus-squareWereCat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoThe AA batteries last really, really long and you can get rechargeable ones. You swap them in a few seconds and can continue playing. The ones that were included with the controller lasted me for several months before I had to swap them.

Yeah, they do last a long time.
