If you are broke, then go for the generic Logitech. But otherwise, I would recommend staying away. My experience has been that they actually made playing games less fun because they are so shoddy.
Play a couple dozen hours with a XBone or DS controller, and you will understand why they are more expensive.
If I’m going to be holding this thing for potentially hundreds of hours, I’m gonna get something that’s comfortable and works well.
I know it’s humor but you shouldn’t buy a new 2ds anyhow. It’s the worst and most fragile model. The top screen breaks very easily when closed and replacing it is not worth the effort.
I thought the point of it was that it was more durable. The most common break was folding the screen the wrong way and snapping it in half. Is the pic above even a 2DS?
EDIT: That’s a 2DS XL. Looks like it would have all the problems of a 3DS.
Yes, that’s a NEW Nintendo 2ds xl. The new is very important since there are (very few) games that only run on new with more power and ram.
So the issue with these is that the top is so flimsy that if you close it and put the plastic under stress it will break the screen. If it’s open and you stress the screen from the front, it’s okay.
So what happens is that people toss it on the couch closed and sit on it (note comfy couch) and upon opening see the broken screen.
Ive seen this happen first hand a few times. This does not happen with any 3ds or the regular (ugly but very sturdy) 2ds.
It was much cheaper, and the 3D Effect has some downsides. For one, on some games it’s really not done well so can be skipped. Later games don’t support it at all and also that a surprising amount of people also can not even utilize it because they do not have 3D vision.
I’ve had a “new” 2DS XL since 2019 and it’s fine. It’s really not bad and the top screen is fine. My only complaint is with the battery life (it uses the smaller regular 3DS battery) and the downfiring speakers.
At school there were a bunch of Xbox cod players that were friends and I was in their class and they gave me so much shit every day. It was like 5v1 and 3 were way bigger than me and 1 my size and 1 smaller. We would always argue about which friend group was better but could not resolve it because my friends and i were on ps3. We ended up getting to rank 1 on this team ladder and they were so mad they pushed me around and pushed me over. So I when i saw their small friend alone in the hallway I attacked him. Didnt do any damage because was to young to cause proper damage. Just called him racial slurs and punched him in the face and pushed him over. It was the style at time.
The next day I thought i was dead as soon as I got to class. But actually it turns out they pretended it never happened and ignored me and we didnt really argue after that. The only conversions we had after were small talk asking thoughts on the new game or guns perks etc.
I got beat up for fucking up someone’s trickshot in search and destroy. We took mw2 a little to seriously that game was our life.

Another one. About 2005 my friend had a birthday we a went to his house and did stuff but then played runescape and he had no items so he logged into his older brothers account and drop traded us his rune set. I got a rune platebody that I could NOT wear. His brother pm ingame asking for it back the next day and I said I had no idea what he was talking about. Then on Monday he beat him up at school until I said I would give it back and then he hunted down all of my friends who got his given his items.
8bitdos work great. I got several, most happy with the Pro 2. The only downside is that they stopped supporting firmware updates in Linux, so you have to use a VM with Windows and USB passthrough to update the pad.
I do have quite a few different controllers, all work fine on linux for me:
Xbox One controllers (newer models, older ones don’t support bluetooth)
8bitdo SN30 Pro 2
Gulikit KK3 Pro
Steam Controller
Google Stadia
The Stadia Controller is not my favourite, but it still works well. I mainly use the Gulikit and 8bitdo ones, depending on the game and wether my main input is meant to be d-pad or left joystick.
The Steam Controller is unique, but I rarely use it.
Bonus points for the 8bitdo Pro 2, the Steam Controller and the Xbox Controllers using AA batteries instead of relying on built in, proprietary rechargable batteries. Pair them with some good IKEA Ladda rechargables and they are awesome.
The Stadia Controller and the Gullikit KK3 Series have built in batteries and therefore come with their own charging circuit.
The Steam Controller does not charge the batteries, you have to use an external AA charger
The 8bitdo Pro 2 comes with a rechargable battery pack that sits in the AA compartment of the controller (similar to the old xbox 360 play-and-charge kits) and can be charged via USB. I don’t know if that charge function is limited to their battery pack, or if it will work with AA rechargables as well. My guess is, though, that it doesn’t, because it would have to somehow identify if the cells are actually rechargable, or if they are just alkaline batteries - trying to charge alkalines can be dangerous.
Allthough persoanlly, I consider using an external AA charger a convenience.
Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.
Friend of mine in high school was super into Star Wars Galaxy. Was pretty much all he did after school at the time. One day he got into an argument with his guild leader or some other member with thw power to remove him, and they kicked him from the guild. This pissed him off enough that he recruited another friend of ours to infiltrate the guild and then spent the next month or so getting to a position of power within it so they could re-add the original friend and kick everyone else out while also draining the guild coffers. Effectively destroying the entire guild.
I have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth (so the switch version) and it works well. I had to add the line manually to the SDL DB, as I was using the beta firmware. Default firmware works out of the box.
I’d suggest the Ultimate 2 Wireless instead as it should have full SteamInput support.
I couldn’t get the customization and update app to work under wine. It’s not a huge issue, but if you want that functionality you need to boot into windows.
Xbox Series X controller works out of the box on USB. Haven’t tried Bluetooth, but I couldn’t get the proprietary wireless dongle to work (it should work with the xone driver)
It’s weird thinking these all started out so bland (for a lack of a better words). It feels natural now for all the little paragraphs i include to be there, but looking back i really didn’t start doing that until around day 50. I guess i kind of acclimated too it
