If you connect the Xbox one controller via a usb cable it's literally plug and play.
… of course the 2 controllers i have are the one's you don't recommend
Does DualSense work (with bluetooth)?
I like my Elite 2, but updates frequently mess with it so I have to use AI to sort it.
I have a PS4 controller and it works perfectly in Cachyos.
i have a chrombook can you give me the comands to hook my 8 bitdo contriller because i dowloaded the retroarch and i want to play metroid zero mission with the controller
5 Years later, the Nintendo Switch Controller still has problems. You really need a good Bluetooth module for it to work wirelessly.
I would like a refresh of this video 😊
Well, this video is 5 years old, but by now the XBOX One controller is easy to set up thanks to the xpadneo driver by atar-axis (Even though you do need to have the latest XBOX controller firmware installed AND have it at least once been connected before with your PC on Windows to then work flawlessly afterwards).
Man, I can't get any of my three xbox controllers to work on Steam. I managed to get the old 360 wireless to work on Garuda Linux, and it works on GOG, but Steam STILL doesn't recognize it on Proton. It's the only thing stopping me from letting Windows go.
I know this is an old video of yours but can you recommend a wired controller for Mint 21.3, I've just installed a Dreamcast and PS2 emulators to play some of my old favourite games and I've never been a fan of wireless, I tried to pair my PS3 controller and it pairs but then unpairs itself and is pissing me off so hence why I want to go down the wired route. Many thanks.
I hate the Steam controller as it reminds me of the old Mattel Intelevision disc controller. I think I'll go with the Xbox 360. thanks
ah I only have the switch controller and xbox… was serching all day for how to use them, and now… I only know its not possible
how do i use the ps4 controller work for my lutris games, does it just work out the box once connected via bluetooth. on windows for non steam games
Could not remember the combination of buttons to press but this was clear, short and to the point. Thanks my ps4 controller is working like a charm on my pop!_os
What software do you need for the ps4 wired connection?
LOL I'm currently in 2022 still using the old Logitech on linux. This thing is built for eternity…
Well world, allegedly we have found a Debian user who deliberately nourishes disregard to wired options.
We saw that coming.
what about rumble and gyro on linux
Thanks.
Sadly, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has proven to be kinda the worst controller i've been using on Linux.
It frequently "disconnects", even while using a wired (USB) connection… which is weird — but it makes it unbearable for any serious gameplay….
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELPE ME!! I HAVE AN XBOX ONE CONTROLLER AND LINUX MINT 20.10 :(( NOTHING WORKS!!! I have tried many things but nothing… please I miss gaming!
