And say what you like about the AA-batteries, but I much prefer long 40h battery life that I can easily hotswap without ever going wired for recharging.
AA rechargable batteries and chargers are dirt cheap and you never have to worry about some inner battery degrading over time and not holding a charge anymore.
I wish they'd do an 8bitdo and provide both: an included battery and the ability to pop in double As. That's be even sweeter!

#bluetooth ist der wohl dämlichste, beschissenste, dümmste, idiotischste Funk-Standard in der IT, seit seiner Erfindung! Kein Jahrzehnt, in dem ich mich an Bluetooth nicht ärgere. Die Industrie schafft es einfach nicht, BT-Geräte wie etwa #gamepads bedienerfreundlich zu gestalten. Elend *grummel*

So, I've got also this pimped #asrock #deskmini with a more recent 5th gen #Ryzen and 64gb ram. It was my "#gaming" living room pc, connected to the TV and some #gamepads. I've got no more time to play now that I'm a dad, so it will be of better use in the #server #rack. I mean, it uses like 8w in idle, but can scale to over 65w under full load. A little but capable machine!
And also, it supports NVME drives. (Continues...) -

My remaining DualShock 3 controller finally died a few months ago, so I bought a DualSense, since I've used PlayStation gamepads all my life. And I must say, that the change in dimensions has being an odd adjustment, being accustomed to a smaller size.
I considered a DualShock 4, but I haven't got a PS4, so finally decided on the newer controller.
Thus far, I haven't got any major complaints. I'd like the touchpad to work out of the box as a mouse on Windows, but Steam takes care of that for the most part.

Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, dass wir über die #GameController der Marke #8BitDo im Rahmen eines Reviews berichtet haben. Der Hersteller ist in der #Gaming-Branche aufgrund des eigenen hochwertigen Portfolios an #Gamepads in kultigen #Retro-Designs sehr beliebt. Nun hatten wir die Gelegenheit, auch ein kompakteres Modell aus dem Hause 8BitDo ausprobieren zu können, namentlich den #8BitDoLite2.

In der letzten Woche sorgte vor allem die Veröffentlichung des @altstore samt zugehöriger #Delta-#App, einem #Emulator für #Nintendo- und #SEGA-Konsolen, für Aufsehen. Für das passende #Konsolen-Feeling sorgen die kabellosen und #Apple-kompatiblen #Gamepads von #8BitDo. Wir haben uns zwei Modelle angesehen, den Ultimate 2.4G Wireless und den Pro 2.

I feel like #operatingSystems should have a dedicated #gamepad #settings page that lists all the #gamepads that are connected, and lets you customize the #button mappings in the year 2023

I have a lot of #gameControllers, some #USB, some #Bluetooth. I find that I often go to use my #8bitdo #controllers and the buttons are mapped wrong for whatever reason.
Does #lazyweb recommend any software for managing #gamepad button mappings? Mostly interested in Windows but cross-platform #foss is always nice. Would be cool to not have to reconfigure every time I set up a new PC!

::: Sony & PlayStation gamepads - official support OUT OF THE BOX for Linux 6.2
Sony keeps providing 1st class support for their gaming gadgets on Linux!
DualShock 4 (of PS4) controller was supported unofficially via "hid-sony" since Linux 3.15 - but now things get official :linux:
All the more - things indeed go even better: backwards compatibility with Sony's older DualShock "hid-playstation" driver.
This particular driver already included (PS5 introduced) official DualSense / DualSense Edge gamepad support.
You can also connect MULTIPLE DualSense gamepads via Bluetooth.
Linux rising as a mainstream gaming platform with rumble - Sony obviously wants gamers to use their gadgets.
