Here's my new prototype for a #disabled colleague. He can almost not move his fingers, but he wants to play Minecraft. The prototype lets you press the buttons with your wrist.

Okay fedifriends, please give me advice on buying a game controller.

Some background: I currently play indie games with native Linux support. But I grew up with consoles, and I still think that I'd be more comfortable with a controller for some kinds of games than with a keyboard In particular, I'd like to play precision platformers with a controller. I also think a controller would be good for homebrew made for old consoles.

I have a strong preference for wired peripherals over wireless, and a strong preference for peripherals that don't require their own batteries.


When I sit down to game, I generally want to be able to start playing right away without much set-up. If a game won't launch, I might spend a few minutes adjusting drivers or settings, or I might immediately give up on that game and pick a different game.

Hence, I'd prefer if possible to find a controller that works "out of the box" with a large number of games. I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring button mappings.

So with that in mind, what controller would y'all recommend I buy?

I'm looking for a small wireless controller that I can bring with me when I travel. Any suggestions?

I'm eyeing the 8BitDo Micro but I'm worried it might be too small. Looked at the Lite 2 and that one looks too big.

It needs to work on iOS, Android, and Windows.

Thoughts?

I'm mostly posting this one because enemy team was nice and called my game sense excellent and said that I was "spooky," even though we lost.

Came in as backfill for a team stuck in spawn; took a minute but I got 'em sprung. I like this clip for the first and last shots, but particularly the last one.

The best part is when enemy Widowmaker went "Fine. You've made me pull out the tryhard" in match chat, and I replied "I'm playing on a game controller."
