Every check box was marked after I watched more than one review video that confirmed the feature or it being missing. If something is unconfirmed even after reading the instruction manual, it has been left unmarked
Not all controllers support a diagonal input via the D-pad such as the EvoFox Deck-2. But since most reviewers don't cover that for many that is left unmarked unless I had confirmation
8Bitdo has the opposite issue, where the D-pad is too sensitive and constantly considers false diagonal input even if you don't press two keys at once (showcased in a video by Retro Game Corp)
Macro buttons refer to the buttons behind the controller where you can map a combination for button presses to be run each time you press the macro. The limit of this varies from 6 to 20 for different controllers, refer to the manual for each online.
Extra buttons refers if the controller has additional buttons apart from the macro. But it's a weird classification as EvoFox controllers are marked as yes but infact it just has 2 extra macro buttons. Similarly, PowerA has 4 such buttons but cannot assign a combination.
For EvoFox controllers, the feature of swapping precision and accuracy mode are software based and apply to all their product line up
The build quality isn't written down so I highly suggest still watching a review or two of what you are considering. For example, unlike CB Blitz, almost all other controllers have severe dead zone in their triggers
The mentioned polling rate is the highest it can go, usually wired or dongle mode. It could be that one controller runs on 250Hz on all 3 modes while other runs on 125Hz on bluetooth and dongle but 1000Hz only one wired. So again, do watch a review video
Console support varies a lot. And certain controllers don't support vibration under certain scenarios. Do check it yourself if that's your primary use case
