Can anyone recommend generic controllers that work with Linux?

Can anyone recommend generic controllers that work with Linux? - Lemmings.world

I don’t need anything special or pricey, just a basic controller that does basic controller things. I’ve tried a few generic controllers, but they have issues with bluetooth, battery life, and automatically shutting off too early from idling. Does anyone know of any generic controllers that don’t have these issues?

Batocera has a good list

Otherwise, I would consider that Linux is not the limit/cause of incompatibility and most will work out of the box just fine.

Supported Controllers All major controllers are supported by Batocera. EmulationStation uses an internal database so that most of them work out of the box, no configuration required. For controllers not in this database yet, Batocera will prompt you to manually map its buttons.
