Recommendations for SNES style controllers supported by retro handhelds (midwest.social)

I have an RG353V currently running ArkOS. Works great, plugged it into my TV and looks great there too. Tried both a USB Xbox controller and PS3 controller and neither seem to be recognized (both of which I know Linux kernel models exist to support). Wanted to pick up a couple of SNES style controllers (kids mostly play Nintendo games) but wasn't sure if anyone could vouch for specific brands or models they know work on these platforms.

8bitdo makes controllers that I use and recommend. Even have some in the form factor of SNES (that’s what I have).

They work on my Pi arcade emulator really well.

Oh sweet, I was looking for a good wireless one for snes too. So these work good for n64 and PlayStation too?

They have adapters for their wireless controllers, and I think you can use old controller shells and put new “guts” in to update them… if you have old controllers, of course!
