I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don’t care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

Personally waiting for the leaked Xbox controller to come out.

Dualshock 4 is great.

If you’re not gonna use it often and want a cheaper one, the Logitech F710 (wireless version of the f310) is great, just don’t use it for your submarines

I am using the Xbox One controller. I had to pair it with Windows once to fix a connection problem, but now it’s problem-free. I’m pretty sure that the problem and solution was described on Arch Wiki but I can’t find it now. Basically it was stuck on disconnecting and connecting again until Windows didn’t update its firmware

The new 8bitdo one with hall effect joysticks is very nice. Has both Bluetooth and a wireless dongle and there’s a hardware switch on the back so you can switch between them on the fly (meaning you can connect two devices and easily switch between)

8bitdo Ultimate 2.4 Ghz, it connects with a dongle, but if you update the firmware you can use Bluetooth as well, even though they don’t advertise it. You can also go with the Ultimate C 2.4 Ghz which doesn’t have the back buttons or mappable buttons (I don’t even know if 8bitdo’s Ultimate software works on Linux) to save some money.
