[Discussion] two handed split / VR controllers similar to joy-cons on nintendo switch, but for PC? (lemmy.world)

I honestly don't care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that's split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven't had any luck getting third-party joy-cons to connect. Can anyone recommend me a controller? I've been looking at the HTC Vive controller, does that do what I want? My most played games are PlateUp, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft.

You could probably use VR controllers, though all those I've used don't have the standard 16 buttons to do everything a standard controller can. Not sure if any actually do.

I never really had any issue with my Switch joy cons over Bluetooth on PC when I had a switch. The only problem I really had was the stick drift. I used them at normal couch distance (about 10 feet, at most).
