Hello lemmings, I’d like to buy some sort of gamepad I can use on my PC (running opensuse tumbleweed linux).
Since my youth I’m a die hard keyboard & mouse player, but since I’d like to try co-op with my wife I’d need second device. What is currently considered a good buy? Should be good in terms of price/quality ratio. I don’t want to spend a lot on a thing with questionable future, might as well end up being ultimate dust collector. On the other hand I don’t want to buy ultra cheap POS that would have terrible build and insta drifting joypads.
Wireless is a plus, but should have its own USB receiver (box PC without bluetooth).
Last thing: I’m based in EU, so should be available there.
Thank you very much!
The slightly less boring answer is an Xbox series x/s controller with an armor x pro or just the armor x strikepack.
The “strikepack” slots into the battery door slot and has a usb-c rechargeable 1300mah battery, four programmable rear buttons, and the ability to function as an xbox, playstation or switch controller.
The pro version also has a gyroscope input for playstation and switch controller modes or can be set to convert onboard gyro to joystick input (with lots of manual settings you can tweak if needed) so you can use gyro to aim or steer in games that don’t support it/xbox.
My only gripe is the usb dongle needs decent line of sight with the controller.
