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.

Stay away from any Xbox Series X/S gamepads. They are cheaply made trash.

I bought the standard version of it for my Deck, expecting it to be somewhat comparable to my Xbox 360 gamepad (which I really like, but which does not have Bluetooth), but nope, it is so much worse...

A friend bought the Elite version, and he also agrees that those gamepads are utter garbage.

I have four. Idk what problems you've had?

Just take an Xbox 360 gamepad, and an Xbox Series gamepad in your hands and compare them. Press the buttons, move the sticks, try the triggers.

One feels like quality. The other feels like - especially the D-Pad.
