    59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers 26% are using PlayStation controllers 10% are on Steam Decks

    Are other controllers registering as xbox controllers are do people really use them that much?

      Xbox controllers work with windows with pretty much zero configuration. Either use USB or the appropriate receiver dongle. This probably contributes a lot to it’s popularity.

      Also the older and newer style controllers likely all just report as Xbox controllers and the wired 360 controllers are dirt cheap

        They work on some Linux distros with zero configuration as well. Mint being one of those.

        (This is through bluetooth that I’m speaking of.)

        That, and they’re simply the best controllers for pc under $150-200

            My bad, on the fly currency conversion error 😁. Best under $150-200 is more accurate.

      Based on the fact that they’re by far the best controllers for pc under $150-200, I’d say 59% ACTUAL Xbox controllers is plausible.

          Some are custom ones with nice grips, but mostly for local couch gaming with multiple friends that don’t have their own controllers.
