Recommend Me: a wireless game controller (lemmy.ml)

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 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
