Bummer about the pastel colors for those who donโ€™t like them. But thanks for bringing my attention to the regular Ultimate, which Iโ€™ll be looking into. My Xbox One controller is on its way out and I just canโ€™t justify an Elite (nor do I want to buy one used).

itโ€™s a shame the docks gone but the price is compelling the extra bag space for the dongles and the colours are not I did want a ultimate controller but the lack of a Bluetooth Xbox layout turned me off that and the price.. Iโ€™m wondering if the trackpad and supposedly longer handles of the dual sense are worth the trade

I just wish someone, anyone, would make a decent playstation-style controller that's corded, I love my ps4 controllers, which is why i got the ps5 controllers, but they all have the same issue, after around 2-3 years of use the usb ports start to not hold tight and you get frequent disconnects while playing. They work over bluetooth but there's noticeable input lag.

my only reliable controllers over the years are my wavebird/ps2/genesis controllers with usb adapters....

I'd always go with Gulikit and their controllers. They use hall effect sensors for their triggers AND analogue sticks. Should be indestructible (in theory). They also support Windows, Linux and Switch. Nice!

@Sqaaakoi @mdiluz heh, as the owner of the original Ultimate, I can tell you the shape is quite different overall and a fair bit smaller

@mdiluz going to have to agree with this, these look A LOT like custom stadia controllers, maybe these could even be almost official if stadia was still alive and google decided to make material you physical stadia controllers

oh how I wish 8bitdo allowed the back triggers to be addressed as their own buttons and not just clones of other functions. Last thing I want from my Pro 2's.
