    Excellent analysis. Pros and cons, practical testing, not yelling jokes or over acting. Thanks man, I may try this one out. Bought the BT Defender after watching your last vid.

    Nice review! Well paced and easy to digest One question, can you change the input in one of the buttons with a keyboard key? Like putting the back button with the tab key to speak on the mic for those coop games

    Thank you for the kind comment! Unfortunately no, the input can't be changed to a keyboard key. Your best bet would be to map the button to that keyboard key in-game. Steam doesn't natively pick up the back buttons either; it's treated as an Xbox controller for all intents and purposes.

    Wow great and really entertaining video! Altho if you are open to doing more reviews, could you review the Gamesir G7 SE? And maybe even do a comparision between these two controllers. I looking to buy a controller and I have decided between these two but cant figure out which will be better

    Thank you for the kind comment! I definitely want to do more controller reviews in the future. Gamesir as a company seems very interesting. No promises on a G7 review because I'd have to buy it first, but I'll see what I can do.

    great review! this one has been on my wishlist for a while but the lack of steamdeck/linux support is a complete bummer. even if it connected and was updateable or programmable through the mobile app that would be at least something. thank you for going in depth on the weird and inconsistent compatibilities. 8-bitdo's tiered naming convention system is less than ideal.

    Thank you for the kind comment and glad the video was useful! I should mention that the controller is perfectly usable on Steam Deck (both wired and via the dongle) but it can't be updated or customized on Deck. Just making that clear.

    The PS3 controller actually also uses hall effect sticks.

    Some of them, especially the early ones, but not all of them.
