I wound up with one of those newfangled playstation controllers, and I’m surprised at how good it is. It paired nicely on Endeavour KDE, and there’s a big touchpad in the center that works to control the mouse pointer out of the box. I’m quite happy with it!
This is how I felt about my Stadia controller! Under Windows I had to buy some third party software to get it to work, and the rumble still doesn’t work there. However in Linux wired or wireless works perfectly, and the rumble works too!
Wait till you try a game with support for the adaptive triggers, like Rift Apart, where the trigger will only pull halfway for primary fire (and resist being pulled further), and putting in more force to pull it fully is secondary fire.
Most games don’t use it of course, but it IS supported and working.
We have two PS4 controllers we use everyday on a pop os machine. Fully recommend!
Still waiting on $ony or m$ to introduce back paddles as independent buttons, removable battery packs with AA support on ps controllers, and hall effect everything that moves. But Linux hardware support is indeed impressive and nothing like the old days.
Been using mine on Linux for a few years, love it too!
