minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year agoI use the steam controller. Nothing wrong with it in my mind (except maybe the fact that it uses batteries and is slightly too large).

minus-squareWereCat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoThe AA batteries last really, really long and you can get rechargeable ones. You swap them in a few seconds and can continue playing. The ones that were included with the controller lasted me for several months before I had to swap them.
