I don't know much about this stuff, but I use a DualSense and I like it. It's comfortable and the joysticks have a nice resistance to them. I can map the controls to match the deck controls. You can't use some of the cool DualSense features like adaptive triggers, and there's no gyro or rumble, but I realized the other day that there's a trackpad! It's pretty jerky but maybe that can be fixed with settings.

Previously I used a switch pro controller and it felt a little cheap. Obviously until Valve releases another controller, nothing is going to match the capabilities of the deck controls.

+1 I don’t have a dual sense controller but a ps4 controller and it works great. I don’t have good luck with xbox controllers, they usually break on me.

Sorry, I meant the gyro doesn't work with the steam deck.
