Thus far I have been playing on my XBox 360 wireless controller, but the rubber has worn off one of the sticks so far, i can feel the edge of the hard plastic beneath it when I play. The springs in the triggers are creaking as well.
So I am looking for a replacement.
Some people recommended the 8BitDo controllers. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4 Ghz Controller offers hall effect sensors and a loading dock for the same price as a regular Xbox or Playstation controller.
I found some posts about the compatibility with Linux. The BT+2.4 version seems to have more problems, but even the 2.4Ghz version needs some tinkering.
Does anyone have any experience with 8BitDo in general or the 2.4Ghz model in particular? Are there other controllers I should look at? I mostly play rogue likes with controller and would like a XBox/Playstation style controller.
Thanks.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I used them and watched some reviews. I went from the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4Ghz to the GuliKit KK 3 Max and finally landed at the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Ordered it from Aliexpress (not available at Amazon in Europe) for under 50€.
So I use an Xbox Series and their wireless receiver for the PC. It’s not plug and play for the wireless functionality, but there is a fantastic repo xone. Just clone the repo and follow the instructions and it works great.
I’m running EndeavorOS with Plasma.
