So, I've been wanting to buy a controller to play classic games.

After doing some research I got an 8bit Do classic 2, which looked and felt great, but I guess couldn't work with my Bluetooth.

Should I just get an Xbox controller, or hold out for this new Nintendo tech (I only game on PC and Switch, currently).

I've bought three controllers for my PC over the years, and none of them have been universally usable.

Update the firmware on the 8Bitdo, it should support Steam Input natively on the newer versions
