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.
Counterpoint: I’m using my original PS5 controller right now and have had no drift in nearly three years.
Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I also don’t think the controllers are fragile.
