What Gamepad is best for Steam?

[Tex [SRB]]

I used to rely on a mouse and keyboard for gaming but recently switched to a gamepad. It's much easier on my hands, and I don't experience the pain of clicking a mouse or holding the same position for a long time. However, my current gamepad is old, and I want to buy a new one. I'm unsure which one to get, but I've searched online and found nothing. I was hoping you could recommend an excellent gamepad for Steam. Thank you!

Either a Microsoft Xbox gamepad, or a Sony Dualsense. Those are the most popular choices.
Keep in mind that Dualsense support is spotty, so while you can play with it, you mostly will encounter Xbox button prompts.

With the Xbox prompts. It can sometimes be fixed by disabling Steams Input support for that game.

Xbox controller has just more support though.
