recommended gaming controller (self.linux_gaming)

What controller do you recommend for steam gaming? Is the ps5 controller good? I heard the Xbox controller had some latency issues. I've been using the ps4 controller and have noticed a slight amount of latency.

8BitDo ultimate 2.4GHz is amazing. Uses a usb dongle for low latency, but the latest update also enabled a bluetooth mode. It also has a charging dock and the best dpad I've used.

Yeah I was a staunch user of the Dual Sense but once I got the charging dock and low latency with the 8bitdo I haven't looked back. Also back buttons are handy

Oh yeah I forgot it had back buttons, they're always useful for games that aren't optimized for controllers. Especially with steam input, since you can make radial menus to do a lot of things.
