       What's the best game controller for Linux that works with Steam?

       @thelinuxcast I use mainly the XBox One S controller. It can be connected with Bluetooth, but I use the proprietary adapter from Microsoft. Unfortunately the drivers are not in the Kernel, as it is proprietary and requires an additional module/driver: https://github.com/medusalix/xoneHowever, I cannot say that this is the best way to play, because of this necessary blob. There are lot of people who like to use the Playstation 5 controller, which have official driver support in the Linux Kernel. 1/2 ...

       @thelinuxcast ... I am thinking of switching to the PS5 controller sometime in the future. Also the official Nintendo Switch Pro controller has good support in Steam. The only reason why I don't buy them right now is the high price, which I cannot justify if I have already working stuff.Hopefully Valve will bring a Steam Controller 2 soon! 2/2

       @thingsiplay I've thought about the PS5 controller. Does the little touchpad work on the front, do you know? Is that even a touchpad? I'm so out of touch when it comes to console gaming.

       It is a touchpad. Works the way you'd expect.(scrolling, left click, right click, etc.)CC: @thingsiplay@mstdn.games
