Optionally, what would you have wanted to know before you bought one?

Thanks!

Nope! Both the Xbox Elite and Dualsense Edge controllers don't add new buttons, they just add buttons that can only be copies of the regular Xbox/Playstation buttons.

Steam Deck does it better since the four back buttons can be used as completely independent buttons.

I've heard that the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller also can use its extra buttons as net new buttons, and I've been tempted to get one for that reason (and because I really liked the Ultimate "1" I had before my dog chewed it up!)
