but is it better for you? it depends. i'd say the controller has a lower floor, but a much higher ceiling. it's not as easy to use as the xbox controller is straight out of the box. it requires customization to get the most out of it. you'll have to learn how to customize it. there is so much you can do, but reaching a level of mastery will take time.

it has a gyroscope and more buttons than an xbox controller. the trackpads are clickable and feel similar to a laptop touchpad. on the downside, the top bumpers are stiff and raised higher than they should be. i prefer assigning those buttons to the grips. the grip size is better suited to a person with larger hands than smaller.

overall i'd say it's a great option if you enjoy customizing things and don't mind putting in the work. if that sounds tedious and you just want something that works out of the box, then the xbox controller would be the better option.

Some ppl prefer xbox, ps4, some steam controller. It's more or less a personal thing, so try both.
But a + for xbox, more games have 360 support.

It depends on who you ask.

I myself hate the Steam controller, no matter how I configure it it is unusable in most games. The Xbox controller I am not a fan of either but it's ok.

I like N64 Gamepad, the best overall for ergonomic, but hard to configure, so XBOX ONE S controller.
PS controller is for Asian people with little hands.
XBOX 360 controller is good.
Never tried Steam controller.

I had a Steam controller and I hated it. Bought it from the last X-mas sale. I had to spend alot of time and effort to configure with some of the games in my steam library. I have a x-box 360 controller and it's so much better.
Try them all and stick with the one your're most comfortable with. It's kind of trial and error type of situation.

i recently purchased a $30 Xbox One Win10 controller at walmart
Have to say im glad i did

As long as a game fully supports a 360/One controller theres no need for a steam controller
most games fully support those controllers by default

All the games I want to play with a controller have a default layout for Xbox controller. Answers a no brainer... I got a wired 360 controller.
This is coming from a PlayStation fanboy.....
