None have additional buttons on the back that can be mapped as new buttons, they’re all just rebinding existing buttons. Steam deck is pretty special in that regard. I would REALLY like to have those four extra buttons available for couch PC gaming.
Steam already lets you remap those back buttons on other controllers to anything you want through their interface. Isn’t that how you’d do it with a Steam controller?
The only ones i know if are the top end Xbox and PlayStation controllers which are exorbitantly expensive, especially when all you want is extra controllers.
I also have had issues with my standard dualsenses Bluetooth not acting great when using my Bluetooth headphones at the same time (which are also made by Sony)
What other controllers? No other controllers expose back buttons as individually assignable buttons that I’m aware of except Steam Deck and Steam Controller since those use Steam’s own interface instead of xinput or dinput
I use a Dual Sense Edge controller with steam and it lets me remap the two back buttons, the two front function buttons, and even the microphone button, to anything I want.
I’ve been trying to figure out if there is a way to do it with the new 8BitDo Ultimate controller but I don’t know that it’s possible. I’ve seen maybe you can switch it to direct input mode somehow to map the paddles but I hadn’t had any success.
