Suggest a gamepad

[mentaluproar]

I have my moonlight setup streaming games off my Linux server. My Apple TV is the client. I need a controller for it. My DS4 isn’t mapping right, which I can probably fix manually but I’m also looking at it as an excuse to possibly upgrade. The dualsense controller is an option. I already have an Xbox controller that works but it’s a weird little battery nommer. 8bitdo has the ultimate 2 and pro3 pads that get high praise but my past experience with them has not been great. The Bluetooth connections kept dropping. Someone suggested a gamesir super nova which know nothing about.

-sigh-

Any opinions?

This is a top-shelf controller that connects and stays connected to my MBP M4P and my ATV4K, as well as a Switch. I've had it a couple of years now, zero issues.

KingKong 2 Pro Controller-GuliKit

Edit: Though after a quick search it looks like it's no longer sold and Gulikit has moved on to the KK3 Pro, available most places.

I like the haptics on that supposedly being strong. no charge cradle isnt great but I'll live. What going on on the back of the controller? I dont understand the 4 things on the back of the KK3. The TTmax also looks good

They're referred to in the picture as rear paddles. I don't own one, but they may be more comfortable to operate than the front finger buttons, and during over-active game play where you can tend to lose a solid handle on the controller they could help hook into the grip better. They're removable it seems, take them or leave them.

I'm a big fan of the Xbox controller because it fits my hand well. When using it with the Apple TV, you do have to manually turn it off, which you may not be used to (long hold Xbox logo).

I've got an Eneloop Advanced Charger plugged into the wall nearby. Swapping batteries takes less than 30 seconds and makes it my favorite controller charging solution. Make sure to get the Advanced model. It's the one best-suited for just leaving batteries in there.

I jabe a Xbox controller (old version) for my Apple TV, also have the 8bitdio controller (arcade sticks and Pro Version Game PAds), recently got the Switch 2 Pro controllers and they are very very nice.

I don't have it but the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro has the Hall Sensor sticks
