What Bluetooth controller does not work with Linux?

[–] commander@lemmings.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lots of them have finnicky issues. I made a video of the issues I was having.

Here's an open github issue of someone with an 8bitdo controller having the same reconnect issues I was having: https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/issues/9006

That's a very specific controller and bug when using the controller in a mode to emulate a switch pro controller.

I'm glad you found a controller you like, but standard Bluetooth controllers seem to be a none issue for most people.

I think a lot of thje problem is just wanting a cheap controller, and cheap controllers typically arent well made and have problems that can be mistaken for linux issued when used on linux.

Its why I ended up just buying a official PS5 controller on black friday for 50% off, wasnt cheap.. but doesnt have any of the problem the cheap PoS's have either.
