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 play Dirt Rally 2, I'm not seeing any issues.

If it doesn't bug you, more power to you. Maybe it's because you're playing a racing game where an input doesn't immediately hit the screen anyways. Hitting the gas takes time to accelerate, steering is about gradually modifying your lines, etc.

But it's definitely there, in both windows and Linux.

Sim racers are pretty demanding on reaction time, rally in particular, where all controls have to work instantly (including gear shift, handbrake and clutch).

Also, what else am I going to play on controller? Racing and platformers are the most demanding games for it, I'm not going to play shooters with controller. 🙂
