      The same as any other piece of hardware+software:

      • New features

      • Vulnerability patching

      • Bug fixes

        You forgot:

        ° bricking the device when the manufacturer feels like you should buy the new thing

        Yes, thanks… for nothing?

        Obviously speaking specifically to the case of a controller here (whereas the typical had been a fixed product that more or less functioned as expected for a lifetime).

        “New features” is meaningless drivel on its own… what are the “New features” that can and have been delivered to main platform game controllers solely from OTA firmware updates? What are the bugs that have been fixed, specifics amigo…

      Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn’t use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.

        I would really hate if my controller worked like butter.

        Guess it depends on the game.
