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?

Not generic, but I’ve been using Xbox Series controllers with LMDE. They were plug n play and work flawlessly out of the box. I’ve used them with both bluetooth and wired and have had no problems with emulation and steam. You’d probably save more buying a used xbox controller for about $30-$50 than trial and error with cheaper off-brand gamepads
He asked for generic. 🙄
