What do you refuse to get generic versions of?

    Video game controllers.

    I know the divide is not quite what it was with stick drift affecting almost all of the 1st party offerings, but there’s just something that feels so cheap about using any generic controller, even ones that are marketed as higher end.

      8bitdo aren’t really for any particular device, but the quality is fantastic.

        Have they changed the joystick material yet? The joysticks off my ol’ 8bitdo pro (the original) kept shedding with use, so I stopped using it in lieu of the switch and steamdeck controllers. Gods, the controller was way more comfortable and sized just right than any other 3rd party controller for me. My google fu is weak, so I never found fitting thumbpad covers for it.

          Not sure tbh, I have a couple of SF30 Pros for about 3 years and they’ve been solid, never had any shedding.
