@socks I love the first one but the steam deck has somewhat nicer hardware and I want the extra stick, d-pad and grip buttons

I'm not saying first party controllers are necessarily bad. Potentiometers can be fine, usually a bit of contact cleaner will make them work as new, in my experience with well-used controllers the springs wear out much faster than the pots.

Also GabeN pls release the Steam Controller 2 tyvm

re: opinions about Joy-Con drift, maybe a hot take 

@Siph yeah you're correct. I think the push for hall effect should be centered around the fact that it has no deadzones. I got some HE sticks for my N64 controllers and I'm pretty sure they beat the pants off of brand new ones now

@Siph I have their controller adapter dongle and it's so handy to have in my bag of dongles

it's kinda funny how third-party-controllers went from the cheap second controller your parents got so your little brother could play, too to the really premium controller that works with all your devices, has all the features you'll ever need and will outlast the first-party controller while still being cheaper

how do I have like a second of ping to Google DNS most of the time, what is going on

@codl I don't think that's a design flaw. Not all services (they call them "actions" now in the UI) are bound to exactly one device. You can even call lamp.turn_on on a list of lamp entities
