I’ve just pulled the trigger on a dock and I’m thinking it may be time to upgrade my external controller. I have a Logitech F710 which has been pretty decent for PC gaming and has worked well on Linux. I’m seeing the Xbox XS as a top recommendation. Is it worth the upgrade?
Xbox controllers are not bad (I have an Xbox One version), but nowadays I wouldn’t buy something without at least the gyro.
My favorite is Steam Controller, other than that PS5 one is good too.
Sony actually contributed an official driver to the kernel, and some games can take advantage of its advanced haptics (even though on PC it’s in wired mode only right now).
And, if you plan to emulate stuff like Wii or Switch games, then you’ll probably want gyro to have a better experience.
