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.
For fighting games and other arcade genres, I’ve got my own custom built stick using a GP2040-CE board. Great DIY project if you’re into this sort of niche.
For everything else, 8BitDo Pro 2 is my ol’ faithful.
