Heads up for those who want a game controller that works well on Linux: Target.com has the DualSense for $50 USD right now.

Bluetooth, USB, motion controls, and rumble all work. The driver is from Sony and is part of the mainline kernel, so most desktop distros should have it already.

As a ps5 owner, I strongly suggest otherwise solely based on durability. All four of my dualsense controller have BOTH sticks drift to a point they are unuseable. Very cool concept but extremely unreliable. There has to be a better option, forget all of the features these are bad.

I will also counter and say I have played well over a thousand hours between trackmania and rocket league at fairly high levels since 2020 when I got the controller and it is still doing great. Those games beat controllers up
