Recommend Me: a wireless game controller (lemmy.ml)

I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

DS5 is probably the best you can choose. The build quality is good and they work fine with Linux via Bluetooth. Also it is not some exotic choice and is widely supported.

The Xbox controllers are also working fine, but they are lacking the gyro and touchpad. Also the build quality wasn't great when I used one the last time (A button not registering every press and wonky d-pad). They are a bit cheaper, but also much worse imo.
