Ok fellow Linux gamers. Who can tell me what controller to buy? I need non Bluetooth, wireless, gyro, Xbox style controller for my gaming needs. It needs to be able to move from Linux to Windows without re-pairing. If it matters, the system is a bazzite Windows dual boot. Bazzite for most things but Windows for anti cheat BS games that won't work in Linux.

I was looking at the 8bitdo ultimate 2 or 3 but have no experience with them.

I'm extremely fatigued with re-pairing my Xbox and switch pro controllers and trying to overcome my shitty Bluetooth. Thanks!

If you're not willing to wait for the new Steam Controller then the new Gulikit TT Max has basically all the functionality and customization available today. Gyro, Wifi, adjustable thumbstick tension, you can even swap the face buttons between XBox and Switch layout.

Here's a detailed write-up.
