They would definitely not agree to that
dbrand wouldn’t ask them – as usual
- Comment on dBrand Companion Cube cancelled: 4 days ago:
Just make Frank face places. Surely nothing will go wrong.

Why am I not surprised they didn’t get a license
Why am I not surprised they went ahead without even asking to get a license?

- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
In other comments I’ve already pointed to 8bitdo www.8bitdo.com
Their Ultimate 2 series of controllers have a stupid naming scheme so you have to be careful if you go with one of those. They have a Nintendo compatible variant called the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth controller but all the other ones also come with a USB dongle and a physical switch on the back to enable bluetooth mode (they refer it to Android compatibility then). The low end one is the Ultimate 2c and even that comes with hall effect sensors. The Nintendo compatible one also works with PCs but in Bluetooth mode its ID is Pro Controller and the A/B X/Y buttons are swapped Nintendo style (in Steam it’s a option to reverse that). I have the Nintendo one because it’s better than a Nintendo Pro Controller and a couple of my friends bought the 2c when it was on a ludicrous sale on AliExpress for 10 Euro.
The latest version is the Ultimate 3E which is officially licensed for Xbox. 130 Euro is a bit steep for me. The 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller costs half the price and the 2c is half of that for a relatively minor loss in features (no RGB LEDs, hall effect instead of TMR sticks).
A friend of mine has KingKong 2 Pro Controller by Gulikit which is not a couple of years old. He’s only a casual gamer but so far he’s happy with it. I cannot speak for the quality of the latest Gulikit controller.

Plenty of 3rd party options with better tech and lower price are available than Xbox controllers.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
Maybe they’re known in US, but I never seen them in EU.
Then you didn’t look properly: geizhals.de/8bitdo-ultimate-2c-wireless-controlle… Gulikit is another very famous 3rd party controller brand. I think both source their sensors from the same manufacturer. They often have quite similar controllers.
Reverse engineered xone driver for dongle fails every few kernel updates.
So the dongle is the problem, not the controller. Use a USB cable for best latency. Works fine. Literally every other controller doesn’t have this problem, so specifically needing a Steam Controller because of Linux compatibility is nonsensical.
So if you want one with a dongle that works absolutely fine under Linux and costs only 29 Euro:

Yes, you can hit a shortcut on it to switch to controler input mode outside of steam
Cool. Which button combo is it? help.steampowered.com/en/…/33E8-5EDF-24E6-4CFB doesn’t list it and instead actually says that Steam is required to properly use it.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
It definitely does this. But why would that matter. The computer sees joy sticks and buttons. You can map accordingly?
Without Steam, my Steam Deck’s inputs are scroll wheels and mouse buttons and the computer sees no sticks and buttons. That’s my point.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
What? They’re probably the biggest 3rd party game controller vendor. They moved to hall effect before even the 1st party companies had those in their elite controllers.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 2 weeks ago:
Requirement? How so? Traditionally you can Mao any old controller for a game manually if you must. It pairs with my desktop on Bluetooth no problem.
Are Gamers Nexus and other lying when they said that the controller acts are mouse without Steam? I don’t have one but that’s exactly how Steam Deck’s controls work.

If you’re windows user you have a plethora of options in all price brackets. I wanted to buy steam controller because of Linux compatibility (Reverse engineered Xbox controller driver likes to shit itself from time to time)
8bitdo and similar controllers work absolutely fine under Linux. No idea where your Linux compatibility thing comes from.
- Comment on SteamOS 3.8 2 weeks ago:
Will we need to wait another year for Bigscreen mode in 6.7 that came out recently?
Probably. Desktop mode isn’t their focus. It’s a bit ridiculous because they said they switched from Debian to Arch to move faster but it is what it is. At least the KDE apps come from Flathub and are the latest versions.
- Comment on Fedora Kinoite vs. Silverblue: My verdict after testing both immutable Linux distros 2 weeks ago:
i also do not need or want yet another package manager and binary repos in brew, and brew doesn’t have that much i’d be looking at anyway.
And yet brew is available out of the box. As is distrobox. Still no idea what your clipboard comment has to do with anything.
- Comment on Fedora Kinoite vs. Silverblue: My verdict after testing both immutable Linux distros 2 weeks ago:
the term ‘clipboard’ is not present anywhere in flatpak, bazzite, or fedora atomic documentation.
What has that to do with the wrong claim that Bazzite is Flatpak-only?
- Comment on Fedora Kinoite vs. Silverblue: My verdict after testing both immutable Linux distros 2 weeks ago:
the flatpak-only environment was giving me constant headaches.
It’s not, though: docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/

VR HL3 is just included, oh we forgot to announce it.
No native port of Alyx (obviously with lower graphics) would be kinda embarrassing, IMO.
- Comment on Steam Frame is Poised for Launch as Units Begin Reaching the US 3 weeks ago:
UK technically is.

I’m also curious about be but don’t know how well it works for someone with glasses
If you’re very short sighted, simply taking the lenses out may be an option.

- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 5 weeks ago:
Here in Germany the 1TB Steam Deck is €919 and the Ally X is €899. Not a huge difference but still.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 5 weeks ago:
I’m happy that I already have a Deck OLED but if I didn’t, at this point I’d rather get an Asus ROG Xbox Ally X and install the latest beta of vanilla SteamOS (the beta officially supports it). Not because I’m a massive fan of that thing but because it’s cheaper at this point.
