Recommend Me: a wireless game controller
I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).
I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

I never got to try it, but ever sense getting the SteamDeck I've really wanted them to come out with a steam controller 2, that has all the inputs of the Deck
I would jizz through the roof if they did that. I have repetitive stress injuries that massively limit my gaming and the touchpads are a godsend in first person games. I set it up to act like a trackball with inertia so instead of holding a direction to turn I could just flick that way and "catch" it when it got to the right spot. Seems like a PITA but after about five minutes you completely forget it was ever weird.
Mix that in with the motion control and you can get really accurate shooting.
When I had a Deck I set it up the same way and... yeah, perfection. Just chop the middle out of the Deck and give it to me, baby. Uh huh. Uh huh.
I used to have a couple steam controllers, but they had a weird shape to them. I could never figure out how to hold them comfortably. They seem to have figured it out with the steam deck though - mine is plenty comfortable. If valve releases a controller that's basically the steam deck without a screen I swear to god I'll be the first in line.
Depends on hand size maybe? The steam controller for me and one of my friends was simply instantly completely comfortable. Something like dual shocks are way too small and give hand cramps. SC feels like it was made for my hands lol
I'm sure it does. You're not the first person I've heard say that the steam controller was the only one that felt right. My hands are medium size, if anything on the small side, I'm right in the steam deck/Xbox controller zone
