I get the cheap GameSir controllers and they work fine. I've got probably 10 of them running around and I need to grab two more to replace my dying Stadia controllers. None have given me a moment of trouble.

That said, I'm not picking up two more if there's a new steam controller coming. I'll wait. I don't usually need more than 8 at once so I can put it on the back burner for now until I need to host a holiday.

This implies that sometimes you do—what situations are coming up where you need 8+ controllers?

3 mini PCs, 4 players each, round robin Mario Kart tournament.

I semi-regularly need between 6 and 8. When I throw a barbecue there's live music, a large selection of meats with plenty to snack on while everyone is waiting for the brisket and ribs to finish up, vegetarian options that are more than just sides or salads, vegan options if any of my vegan friends stop by, games like darts and cornhole, video games, drinks, and general fuckery.

I like to do it big and I've got the means and space to do that.
