I’ve got a small backlog of games on my laptop (running Arch Linux with KDE) through Lutris. I usually play with a keyboard and a mouse, but since I sit pretty close to my screen (ik bad habit), it starts getting uncomfortable after a while. So I’ve been thinking about picking up a gamepad for some more relaxed, couch style...
I have an 8bitdo and like it as well, one thing to consider tho is Steam Controller 2 is "extremely close", might be worth holding out for that to drop atm, the original is pretty legendary and 2 seems based on steamdeck layout.
Sorry, don’t use Lutris, either Steam or straight to Bottles. But I’ll guess yes, with the dongle it comes up as a normal XBox controller unless you jump through hoops to get extra buttons going.
Gamepad for Linux Gaming?
