Ok fellow Linux gamers. Who can tell me what controller to buy? I need non Bluetooth, wireless, gyro, Xbox style controller for my gaming needs. It needs to be able to move from Linux to Windows without re-pairing. If it matters, the system is a bazzite Windows dual boot. Bazzite for most things but Windows for anti cheat BS games that won’t work in Linux.

I was looking at the 8bitdo ultimate 2 or 3 but have no experience with them.

I’m extremely fatigued with re-pairing my Xbox and switch pro controllers and trying to overcome my shitty Bluetooth. Thanks!

    Ultimate 2 Wireless is great, I’ve used it for a while for gyro gaming. Just FYI you need a Windows or macOS to update the firmware so you can use it.

      Seconding the Ultimate Wireless 2.
      I had to use a Windows VM to update the Dongle and Controller firmware but afterwards, perfect Linux experience with Steam Input.
      The 2.4ghz dongle is so much better than my Tp-Link Bluetooth adapter that I never want to use my DualShock 4 again.
