Nibodhika, do games w Gamepad for Linux Gaming?

I have lots of different controllers, and have had even more through the years. My personal recommendation is the 8BitDo Ultimate 2, should be plug and play either on wired, wireless or Bluetooth on most modern distros, comes with a stand for charging so you never have the issue of picking the controller and being out of batteries, has Hall-Effect track pads so you won’t get drift with time, has 2 extra back buttons which are configurable on steam. Plus specifically against each other major controller:

Pros over Xbox controllers:

  • No need to install any driver
  • Batteries included

Pros over Playstation controllers:

  • Most games show ABXY glyphs
sonofearth,

Thanks. Unfortunately this one’s on the expensive side and I am not a hardcore gamer. I think I will go with the ultimate C wired as it is in my budget as well as seems to work with Linux (atleast via steam; got mixed reviews with Lutris from some folks in the comments).

Nibodhika,

Fair enough, the ultimate 2 is the same price as the Xbox and Playstation, so I guess those are also outside your range. The ultimate 2C wireless is only $5 more than the wired, I think that’s a good benefit for that price difference, but even the wired should be good since 8BitDo does good hardware.

sonofearth, (edited )

The ultimate 2 is over 100$ more expensive than the ultimate c wired and 50$ more than the official Xbox one. (All of this in rough ₹ to $ conversion) Interestingly, I just searched Amazon and I had to scroll down quite a bit to find the 2c wireless which is actually cheaper than Ultimate C wired (at 81% discount like wtf?!), so now I might go for that one. Thanks.

Edit: Sorry that 2C was just for the Nintento Switch. The reviews mentioned it didn’t support PCs. So now the actual 2c is 20$ more expensive than the Xbox. Now I am confused to put in the extra and go for the ultimate 2 lol.

Nibodhika,

Not sure how the prices are in your location, but these are the rough prices here in Europe that I had in mind when replying to you, I assumed the relative prices would be similar in your location, apparently I was wrong:

Hadriscus,

I bought 2x Ultimate 2 for a total of 108€ and that was with a relay fee, I’m surprised at the prices you mention

I have played and beaten both games too often to count, and while they’re both excellent the way Mario controls in SMW always throws me off for the first couple of minutes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but SMB3 just feels better, more weighty I guess.

The regular PS4 controller works fine. Works well in steam, lutris, retroarch and the few native games I own, never had any (unsolvable) problems with it.

@msokiovt@lemmy.today avatar

I’ve used a PS4 controller myself, so I can confirm that.

bridgeenjoyer,

Do you have issues using it wirleessly ? I do

demonsword,
@demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve got it working but, unfortunately, when wireless the controller has unacceptable input lag. Might be something interfering with the bluetooth signal, I don’t know.

bridgeenjoyer,

Ah. I have never had lag, but the constant disconnecting and having to manually reconnect sucks.

Nice try to rally the troops to grift some hate/simpathy sales from the dumb dumbs who can’t see this for the blatant exploitative marketing attempt it really is.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm… I was about to disregard this, but it’s only a day old account, so you might be right…

Isolde,

Yeah, I joined this platform because I was sick of how caustic Reddit is, apparently it reaches all the corners of the internet. Thanks for the unwarranted doubt; and for contributing nothing.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

You are right, it contributed nothing to the post except adding some toxicity, my apologies.

Welcome to Lemmy!

Isolde,

If you’re being genuine I appreciate it. I get bots are literally a blight on the internet, but you can’t assume everyone is! Thanks for the welcome. :)

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I try to make Lemmy a welcoming place for everyone, at least where I can, so no excuses for that.

Have fun!

Isolde, (edited )

Nice attention grab from someone who also has nothing meaningful to contribute. Why should I care who buys it, and what do I get from marketing for them?

Maybe the real question is, does diversity scare you? Are you going to cry if I ask your pronouns?

verdi,

Nice bait.

Isolde,

Yeah, I really posted this to attract the smooth brain club. As if people like you have anything to add. You can just ignore things that don’t resonate with you. To me it seems like you baited yourself

verdi,

Clearly I’m the uncivilized one in this dialogue. You can tell from the petty insults and strawmen.

Isolde,

You said something truthful, how does it feel? Others can tell by the lack of character you possess and the lack of content in your comments. Thanks for having some awareness, that’s progress.

verdi,

Thank you, your insults are so well crafted I feel a single wrinkle forming in my smooth brain.

Isolde,

You might not have anyone to talk to, and I’m genuinely sorry for you, but why persist in replying to someone you don’t agree with? You seem to want some engagement whether negative or not. I honestly wish you the best, because it seems like you’re trying extremely hard to grab attention, get a reply, and have some reply. Just know you can do that positively, and if you did, I’d forgive you for it.

verdi,

Second wrinkle just formed. Keep going…

Isolde,

There isn’t any more. Honestly, it’s just you. You can keep commenting to no end, but my kindness does expire. No one is going to want to be part of your community if you don’t see a need for kindness. Why don’t you keep going? Maybe there is someone here who is the same sort of desperate. Maybe you can find them. This is why communication and communities exist.

verdi,

Three wrinkles, a few more posts and I’ll cure cancer.

Isolde,

How nice.

verdi,

I know, right!

Isolde,

Tell me more.

Isolde,
verdi,

Don’t starve like, not great, not terrible, at home in a Deck. Demo is appreciated. Attempts at viral marketing by stirring culture war, are not. It’s a European game, largely subsidised by Danish grants, their absence from the Danish diversity charter is kind of conspicuous in the face of this clunky attempt at going viral with US culture war BS… Someone should return their marketing degree and ask CBS their money back.

Isolde,

That’s an interesting take, I don’t know why you decided not to lead with that.

Isolde,

If you can recommend a cozy/farming game other than this, I’ll gladly return it if I don’t already own it. Otherwise their drama doesn’t really have anything to do with me.

Isolde,

What do you think?

Super Mario world is obviythe better game because that’s the one I have more nostalgia for.

As much as I love SMB3’s powerups (hammer bro 4 life), I’d go with World because you can replay levels and even castles with L+R. Fuck Tubular, tho

I love ps4 controllers and they are cheap. They work great wired, and they work ok over bluetooth but not great in linux.

Just as an FYI, you’re getting down voted because you’re asking for assistance on a “game” that seems to be App Store shovelware. The only resolution you will find is through the App Store itself. Best of luck getting the devs to respond!

BeerEnjoyer, do games w Winter burrow SBI controversy

Can’t wait to see this game top the charts so all the anti-woke chuds will say “well it wasn’t woke to begin with, that’s why it sells well!”

Isolde,

People have lost the plot. It seems like a great cozy game with triple A quality. As someone who loves cozy games, there haven’t been too many to pick from recently. I think the current president has empowered shite people to believe their awful opinions should be honored. Like I said, unless buying this is putting blood money in someone’s hands I’m getting it come noon today. I absolutely think this game is going to win awards, and it looks like the kind with a story soft enough to make me cry.

Kanzar, do games w Gamepad for Linux Gaming?

My favourite 3rd party controller, which according to this article is compatible with Linux: gamingonlinux.com/…/the-8bitdo-ultimate-2-wireles…

carotte,

can second 8BitDo, their stuff is awesome

for 2D games (or games that are played with a d-pad rather), their Pro line is also very good! i have the Pro 2, and it works fantastic with Linux. idk about the Pro 3 but i can’t imagine it would be much different, and i heard the d-pad on that one is even better

Third. I swear by them (and got their keyboard too, in Family Basic colors, and mouse in NES colors).
The moment they put out a keyboard in Atomic Purple, I’m throwing a bunch more money at them.

LiveLM, (edited )

This is also my recommendation.
Even if you don’t care about any of the extra features, the fact that you get TMR Sticks, a charging dock and 2.4g dongle included makes it a better purchase than any Xbox controller

So it’s just a fancy physical code? You don’t have to write it in the shop… Wow

BreakerSwitch,

Worse. You need to use the card to play the game, even though it’s just a key to unlock downloading the game. Worst of both worlds.
