I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don't have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

I've got an xbox360 and a PS4 - nothing newer. I'll have to buy SOMETHING, sadly. I do appreciate the suggestion ,though.

PS4 controllers use Bluetooth and can be paired with a phone.

I assumed they were a proprietary 2.4ghz like the Xbox 360! Hot dog. Thank you.

Wasn't support for them dropped basically everywhere recently due to an unfixable security bug in it's bluetooth implementation?

I've not tried it, but I'm sure if you can connect a PS5 controller, you can use your PS4 controller. Look it up and give it a shot!

It seems that I can! Most excellent. Thank you.
