I didn't realize there was a USB adapter. There's a problem on Windows where pairing an xbox controller via bluetooth can result in reduced performance, so I've taken to using my switch pro controller in Steam. The switch controller doesn't work for games that can't be launched via Steam, though, so maybe I'll pick the adapter up (and someday move to Linux maybe? I keep thinking about it).


I don't think it's worth buying anything else for a PC other than an XBox controller. They are the best price/performance, and have the widest support. Anything else is gambling wether it works. But if you already have a Switch Pro, you can try x360ce - it can map the buttons to standard Xbox bindings.


Yep, I already had a Switch pro controller lying around. The nice thing about Steam is that it works pretty much 100% of the time for anything launched via Steam (exception: it doesn't work for Xbox game pass games added to and launched via Steam). Added bonus, it has gyro, so I can kinda sorta play Doom less badly. I'll take a look at x360ce, thanks!
