Need advice on new wireless controllers for couch coop
Hello all, I'm looking to buy 4-8 controllers for some couch coop games and haven't found any clear winners so far. I'm leaning 2.4Ghz as I've heard problems about bluetooth controllers disconnecting on the steam deck and always appreciate less latency. I also don't need any fancy features like gyro or touchpads, just the generic xbox-like style would be great. Also my last problem is that every one I've found requires a dongle per controller, to which I'm wondering if 4-8 dongles next to each other would cause interference?
In essence: if anyone has recommendations on controllers for couch coop games on the steam deck where the main priority is connection stability, it'd be much appreciated!

I've been using the 8bitdo ultimate but I've had a few issues with it over time. For starters the rb button sticks, which I've been able to work around using the back paddles, but it's still not ideal. Recently though I've had a few games misinterpret the buttons, playing through animal well the a and b buttons performed the same action so I had to get my old 360 wired controller out to play through it. Looking in the software (only available on phone and windows, no Linux support as far as I'm aware) showed no mismatch of setup or anything so no idea what's happening there. Playing death stranding recently also had issues, it was as if it was trying to switch inputs from the controller to m+kb constantly.
