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.

    Out of curiosity, are you using WiFi, and what frequency?

    A little while ago I had an issue where my controller would interfere with my 2.4GHz WiFi and make my computer basically unusable for online games. This isn't really the same situation but I imagine something similar could happen in reverse.

    Otherwise I've never had any issues with controller latency though. It's weird that it's so significant for you.

      Multiple physical locations and network setups. It doesn't matter.

      Bluetooth is substantially higher latency and lower stability than the proprietary adapter. It's fine if you can tolerate it, but the performance isn't the same.
