What controller are you using with the Deck?

My pick after searching around is the 8BitDo Ultimate C (link) which is the cheaper version of the ultimate with no dock. So far, it's been working well for me. I just had to restart the Deck the first time after the pairing, since then, it recognize the device all the time.

I use my leftover Stadia controllers. RIP.

But for my son I got an 8bitdo Lite 2 because it's smaller and easier for him to hold. Works great.

Damn... I totally forgot about stadia. I feel like it made so much noise then suddenly vanished without a trace...

It's amazing because GFN is still going strong and Microsoft is really pushing their cloud gaming platform. Stadia was just horribly mismanaged.

It's the google classic:

  1. Have an awesome idea

  2. Go crazy on development

  3. Gain a loyal userbase

  4. ???

  5. Inspire hope

  6. ???

  7. Seperate entirely

8bitdo Lite 2

I can vouch for this one. I use it at work to play Pokemon on my phone without having to hold my phone. I just keep the controller in my jacket pocket lol

Also using my Stadia controller here, they work great but I wish they had the ability to remotely wake the OLED Deck...

I still have no clue which controllers do and don't (aside from the Stadia controller) support the feature.
