it's good to know. Anyway, the 8BitDo seems to have some advantages over the Xbox one: more buttons on top, back buttons — which I use to map the F3 key on the Epic Store games for the friends list on the Deck. I might resell my Xbox controller for this one, I have always been frustrated by its dependency-ish to the dongle.
@eniko none that I’ve noticed, even when using Remote Play it feels good. Comfortable too. Just love that i can tap the deck on, and pull the controller out the charging station and it turns on by itself and links up 👌
@jeffeb3 Sounds like you picked up the BT model, which has Switch control layout. Steam has a way to flip them, but it will only affect games that properly use Steam Input and detect that setting. Mine is the Wireless model, that has normal Xbox layout.
Thanks. I have the wireless black one. The graphics and shortcut icons on the screen are xbox, but they don't match the buttons on the controller.
I can look deeper. I thought maybe there was a simple toggle you knew about to fix it. I am pretty sure I can at least remap them in the 8bitdo sw, but I would rather just change the names in the steam software.
ok. After some playing around, I have two games I have been playing that behave differently.
Pikuniku was the one I was trying to get to work with my kiddo. When it said press Y, we had to press X. This config switched the buttons around, and the labels didn't change, so this worked.
Spiderman was wrong in the same way, but it also shows the xbox logos and style of buttons. When I change this setting, the buttons swap, and the labels also swap. So that was really confusing.
