8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad

I love the controller so much, it is precise, fast, looks clean, feels amazing, and works well with BeamNG. Only thing I would love to see is improvements to D-Input, as I can't use the 4 extra buttons in Xinput

The controller is really good. Feedback is excellent. All around a good controller, only problems are: the sticks sometimes feel too close, and now it has no replaceable battery, which is a bummer.

The gamepad is great!

As an important addition, one thing that often isn't listed is its fantastic support for the Linux operating system. Besides SteamOS, Linux allows you to use every single button over a Bluetooth connection, providing the same full functionality you get with the Steam Deck!

To get it working perfectly, you just need to perform a one-time setup.

Instructions for Linux Users:

First, open a terminal and create a new udev rule file. Since I know you prefer using the Kate text editor, you can use this command:
Bash

sudo kate /etc/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules

Next, add the following line to the end of the file:

SUBSYSTEM=="hid", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6009", MODE="0666"

Save the file and close the editor. To apply the new rule immediately, run the following command in your terminal:
Bash

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

That's it! This change is permanent and will persist even after you reboot your system.

Therefore, it's a definite buy recommendation!

i used this controller for every game i played since i got it and i have absolutely no regrets in my purchase. i've been known among my friends as the "Certified Hater of Analog Triggers™" so having a quality modern controller that allows me to change the analog triggers to digital switches was worth a purchase from me alone, but everything else about the controller was also fantastic. the clicky d-pad, the smooth analog sticks, and the extra remappable buttons are all great. my only complaints with the controller are the digital switches for L2 and R2 take just a little too much force to press in my opinion, and the fact that playstation buttons aren't an option among the magnetic replaceable buttons (even blank buttons with playstation colours would be appreciated).
