This post had a lot really good suggestions for couch coop games on Linux and I was wondering if there are controllers people recommend or if all the third party ones are the same? I have an Xbox controller with Bluetooth I might be able to find but they are kind of pricey so I don’t want to buy another unless for some reason that’s the best thing. I’m open to wired and wireless I just don’t want to end up with some cheap piece of shit that makes playing not fun.
I’ve got an 8BitDo and a Gulikit and they’re both built well. My only complaint with the Gulikit is that I bought the white KingKong2 and the sticks yellowed after a couple of months sitting near a window, but otherwise the controller is fine. I’ve been able to connect at least the Gulikit to my laptop perfectly well over Bluetooth (I always use the 8BitDo wired on my desktop so I’ve never tried it wireless). Can’t really go wrong with anything made by either of them
