  • I upgraded from my aging DS4 to an Ultimate 2C, and it was night and day. The buttons are sharp (some on the DS4 started to become sticky) and the hall-effect sticks are incredible: I felt that my inputs were much more precise out of the box, and in Steam you can reduce (and even eliminate) dead zones.

    I would only upgrade to a Steam Controller for the trackpads, but I don’t think I play enough games that would benefit from them to justify the purchase (maybe if I played more third-person platformers/shooters like Lara Croft and Uncharted)

    Edit: forgot to mention the additional buttons. I don’t use them on the 2C because of their awkward placement, whereas Valve placed them next to the grips on both the Steam Deck and Controller. I find the latter placement much easier and natural, it was quite useful when I played Half-Life 2 and Portal 2.



  • I have no experience with Wallabag, but I have been pretty happy with Readeck. Skimming through Wallabag’s documentation, I would say they are pretty similar, while both have unique features. For example, Wallabag has annotations (you can only highlight in Readeck), and Android and iOS apps; whereas Readeck can export collections to eBooks, has RSS feeds for pretty much anything (all articles, unread, archives, collections, etc.) and its browser extension allows to only save part of a page (by selecting it first) and to directly send the page content to your instance (which is useful when saving paywalled content)
