Okay #retrogaming - I got Kodi set up on my #nvidia #shieldtv with the internet archive game launcher... and I just re-re-remembered that my beloved #steamcontroller won't work with it... I have no idea why I keep forgetting this.

I'm looking for 4 cheap bt controllers but the market is flooded... any #suggestions ?

Man I tried and then I tried again and then I tried some more, a whole bunch, but I could not force myself to like that controller. Just holding it was bad, reminds me of The Duke which was impossible to use when I was a kid trying to hold it. I got a DS5 and it's been the best controller I've ever used by a huge margin and I've used a ton.

Edit: Just saw your price range, I'm not sure for that low you'll end up with anything that you don't just get pissed every time you go to use it. There are some decent cheap controllers, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything decent below at least $30.

Ha ha, to each their own, for me it was one of the worst controllers I've ever used, and using the SC reminded me a lot of it and I also never could get comfortable with the trackpads regardless of how much I tried to force myself to use it in different genres of games. I'm glad you enjoyed them though! Maybe look for a larger controller if there more comfortable to you while you're on your hunt.
