I got my moonlight/sunshine rig running with fedora on the server and my AppleTV as the client. My DualShock 4 controller works but isn’t mapping right and it’s old enough that it’s probably time I bought something new rather than bother fixing it anyway.
I have an Xbox wireless controller but it just never felt right in my hand.
I have 8bitdo SN30 controllers but they never were able to keep a stable connection.
I’m considering either a Sony dualsense controller and charger, 8bitdo ultimate 2, or 8bitdo pro 3.
Opinions?
I’m so grumpy, I bought three 8bitdo Ultimate controllers and only one keeps a stable connection even using it’s USB dongle on the steamdock. smh. I then tried a different PC with Bazzite, same deal. Like wtf why won’t they work
I hope to buy a new steam controller but I’ll return it the same day if that shit doesn’t connect
I highly recommend if you’re going to get the 8bitdo ultimate try getting one and just return the ones that don’t work.
If you’re using the USB dongle then try use a USB extension cable to put some distance between the device and the dongle to reduce interference. And make sure the dongle has clear line of sight to the controller.
I dont have the 8bitdo controller but I have had issues like that with lots of other devices with dongles and using an extension + line of sight solved connectivity issues with all of them.
Is the steam deck thing near usb4/thunderbolt cables?
they interfere strongly with some wifi and Bluetooth frequencies.
Get a replacement. I know folks who have just gotten bad units. In general,no feel like their QA is a bit lacking, but if you get a good one, should work pretty flawlessly.
I recommend talking to their customer support. I had an 8bitdo sne30 pro+ from when they first launched that had a structural issue where when I used certain buttons other buttons would depress causing no input to register or the wrong input to register. I was very annoyed but when I did complain they offered to replace it.
