Heads up for those who want a game controller that works well on Linux: Target.com has the DualSense for $50 USD right now.

Bluetooth, USB, motion controls, and rumble all work. The driver is from Sony and is part of the mainline kernel, so most desktop distros should have it already.

    The dual sense is a great controller, but you’re right. It is not immune to stick drift. Have you considered replacing your sticks with hall effect sticks? When my current black one starts to drift, I’ll probably just replace my sticks and maybe drop a new battery in it. Otherwise, it’s been my favorite controller.

      Dualsense controllers currently dont have any solderable hall effect sensor sticks yet. DS4 very recently (i think likr a month or two ago) had just received theirs.

        Yep, I was looking into it earlier. I got ahead of myself.
