Let's. Fucking. Go.
I've been waiting for a controller with back buttons and Steam Input support that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for so long...

Yes! I picked on of these up a few weeks ago to replace my Elite controller. This will be a pretty major upgrade.

Hopefully they expand this to other 8bitdo controllers. My SN30 Pro 2 back buttons see no use atm.

Yeah I end up programming them with the Ultimate Software, usually to the stick buttons, but it would be nice to set them to stuff like bringing up the Steam Keyboard. There's already a switch on the back of those so you could have a Steam Input mode and a Ultimate Software mode easily.
