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 left the Xbox Elite 2 which is expensive and have hardware issues with time (like LB/RB buttons getting stuck).

    Now I use an 8bitdo-something (the one with bluetooth and 2.4Ghz) and it is great. Cheap, hall effect sticks, no fancy stuff, works and has a nice choice of colors (mine is green, cause green is cool)

      I’ve had 2 in the past year (none elite) one got stick drift within 6 month, the other got sticky trigger buttons. For all the complaints joycons get, I use those more and got a single issue.
