Their controllers look great, but I wish they had a super simple 8-bit Nintendo controller for PC. No turbo buttons or other extra buttons. Something that my young kid could use.
The SN30 is about as close as you can get to that, I think. I have two, and use them for everything. They're basically SNES controllers with analog sticks. No paddles or other macro buttons. Just ABXY, dpad, start, select, shoulders, triggers and sticks.
They do also make the Micro, but that might be too tiny even for a child. Dpad and face buttons only.
I haven't tried them, but Nintendo put out a set of joy-cons a while back that are literally just two NES controllers. And since you can use joy-cons with Steam, I'm thinking maybe you can use those.
I'm not sure if they still make them though so you might need to get them used or something.

Ohh, thank you! I didn't find these in my search. Only cheap chinesium.
