Bad news: Playstation is starting to block their games from running on Proton. Playstation Overlay is blocked on Linux in Ghost of Tsushima. The same thing happened with the Concord beta. (x.com)

But the dualsense has such a nice wireless touchpad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Does it? In my experience the touchpad is by far the worst feature of the DualSense.

Any decent controller suggestions if I don't care about Xbox or Playstation controllers?

8bitdo or King Kong 2

Sadly I also primarily use a DualSense, specifically for the touchpad.

But I love the 8bitdo for emulators, and the King Kong for racing games.

My KingKong 3's are good, my only advice is don't switch the triggers into digital mode while pressing the trigger, it breaks the internal mechanism.

However I managed to convince them to send me a repair kit rather than doing a replacement, which worked out really well. They're very easy to repair.

I'm partial to the 8bitdo Pro 2. Comfortable and has two back buttons.

How long have you had yours? I've had 3 8bitdo controllers (iirc, sn30/ Pro/ Pro 2) and none of them work anymore. They also had a ton of connection and software issues leading up to becoming bricks.

I've had a SN30 Pro+ since 2019 and bought subsequent models (2 8bitdo Pro 2s and one wired Pro 2) in 2021 and 2022. My most used one sees multiple uses a week and has traveled intercontinentally with me alongside my Pro from 2019. The only issue I've ever had has been the rechargable battery pack dying but that can be replaced with two AAs or you can buy a new pack direct from 8bitdo.

Hell, my Bluetooth NES30 from 2014 still works on the original battery. The only ones I can't confirm still work right now are my N30s that are in storage.

My 2.4ghz 8bitdo controller is awesome
