I've been looking for a replacement for my Xbox controller because I'm tired of buying new ones that all have sticky B buttons. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Check out 8bitdo. In have their pro 2, and I bought their Xbox buttons for it and installed them. Goated controller with replacement parts. PlayStation layout, styled like SNES, and XBOX ABXY buttons.

can't those can only duplicate standard controller buttons? we need separately mappable extra buttons like L/R 4 and 5 on steam deck. more of them though. games fully supporting steam input can give you named input functions and in game it shows the button you set it to for prompts. it would be great for separating inputs in games where buttons are shared like jump and interact being the same button depending on if an interact prompt is up.

I have done 0 configuration to the controller or steam inputs, I just set the toggle to X for windows/Linux, then Bluetooth pair it. Every button gets mapped and can work independently. Even the 2 grip buttons, and 2 special menu buttons. I did the XBOX buttons because I noticed every game made for controller had the ABXY layout, and not always PlayStation's square, circle, etc.
