I'm currently looking for another controller for the deck. Reddit threads and some articles usually mention Dualsense, Dualshock4, 8bitdo Ultimate and XBox controllers.

I want one with a trackpad this time because I miss it for point and click games and the PS controllers seem to be fitting, but I'd prefer the buttons to have ABXY, in the XBox ordering. Are there controllers where the trackpad has feedback like the deck has?

There are plenty offbrand controllers out there, are you using any of them and what's your experience with them?

I got the BT 8bitdo ult, some cheap Switch controller and 2 old Xbox "The Duke" so far, for references.

See if you can get your hands on an old steam controller. I use mine almost exclusively now. Finished the whole master chief collection on it. You can only get them 2nd hand now. They came out before their time.

Take them apart and put the buttons in whatever order you want, dude. You're being needy.
