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.

    The Xbox one is good and it’s the standard layout on PC, so this is probably your pick.

    I love my Steam Controller since is very customizable and a pretty unique hardware, but it may require config steps.

    8bitdo stuff is usually good but pay attention on layout buttons.

    Never tested a PS controller on PC but Steam should allow to play some game with the PS buttons on screen.

      I never got to try it, but ever sense getting the SteamDeck I’ve really wanted them to come out with a steam controller 2, that has all the inputs of the Deck

        I used to have a couple steam controllers, but they had a weird shape to them. I could never figure out how to hold them comfortably. They seem to have figured it out with the steam deck though - mine is plenty comfortable. If valve releases a controller that’s basically the steam deck without a screen I swear to god I’ll be the first in line.

          Depends on hand size maybe? The steam controller for me and one of my friends was simply instantly completely comfortable. Something like dual shocks are way too small and give hand cramps. SC feels like it was made for my hands lol
