Suggestions for a GameCube controller for PC Linux (lemmy.ca)

Dear Linux gaming community,

Do you have any good recommendations for a GameCube controller compatible with Linux? It can be wireless or not, that doesn't matter, as long as it is as close to the original controller at possible or better.

I've never owned a GameCube, so I intend on giving its games a go with an emulator. Especially the legend of Zelda and Metroid.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

PowerA made a wireless GC controller for Switch. I got one and paired it with my Steamdeck. Works fine.

Also, for the Metroid Prime's, if you're not too hung up on playing it the original way, look into Primehack. It's a modded Dolphin emulator with specific FPS controls for Metroid Prime. There are packages for Linux available. I think the one that worked best for me was the flatpak version.

I've got two that are pretty much clones of the GC controllers, but with USB plugs. They work find on a retropie system. I can check the brand once I'm home from work.
