is there an alternative to joy con for steam deck? (or pc in general)

Cikos@lemmy.world to Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz – 20 points –

one thing i miss the most about my switch is the joy con. i love being able to game while my arm is pretty much free.

i was thrilled when valve announced joy con support but when i tried it on my pc and my deck the connection is spotty and the input lag is really bad, i tried with multiple joy cons but it still the same, do you guys have the same experience or is there something i have to do with it first.

cheers.

isnt all other controllers also bluetooth? its just way worse on joy cons.

(I genuinely do not understand the "strain" people find from keeping their hands together-ish while holding a gamepad...)

its just my preference but thank you for the info ill look into it

isnt all other controllers also bluetooth? i

No.

In the PC space, it is worth keeping an eye out for peripherals that use "2.4 Ghz". And in the console space, there are either "generic" radios or "non-standard" uses of bluetooth in the case of devices that rely on it.
