muusemuuseHelp me choose a controller
tuckermI have a Sony Dualsense controller and haven’t had any problems with it as a game controller. However, I’m always launching games through Steam, or letting Steam run in the background (so that it’s handling the controller input remapping). I don’t know if that’s what you plan on doing; I’ve never tried it without Steam handling the inputs.
My one complaint about it is that the trackpad isn’t good enough to use as a mouse when you’re navigating the desktop. So I ended up switching back to my original Steam controller.
RaiI also have a Dualsense controller (among like five others) and have found it works great with Steam on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I realllly love when games actually utilize the haptics and adaptive triggers. It adds a whole new dimension to games like Pacific Drive and Returnal, I wouldn’t play them without it.
Oh cool, glad to know that Returnal takes advantage of it. I don’t have any games that take advantage of the haptics right now, but I’ve been wanting to try one. And I was already wanting to check out Returnal at some point.
I REALLY loved Returnal. Such a cool, beautiful game. One of the few games in the last decade that I fully completed everything of!
The controller does need to be plugged in for triggers and haptics, but I just got a super long USB extension. The triggers are way cooler than I expected. Driving in Pacific Drive feels so crazy cuz the brake feels like a real car brake, and accelerating is rumbly and neat.
