I started playing Dark Souls 3 which I now understand has a controller strongly recommended. I may as well just look into getting a controller of some kind as I have a few games that have somewhat janky kbm controls and are better enjoyed with a controller.
I just wanted to ask for general advice about what controller to get in terms of compatibility. Also if someone has made a controller that’s more in the spirit of foss that also works fine with Steam and Proton games that would be nice?
I know Steam is pretty good with Playstation controllers and I used to use a PS controller (don’t remember what generation) with some native Linux Steam games, not sure how the whole PS vs Xbox controller thing is affected by running games through Proton if at all? If it matters let me know, and I’ll see if I can procure a controller for myself.
Steam manages their own controller support so a lot of gamepads should be okay. Now I know I didn’t want to fiddle with that Xbox dongle to get the wireless so I bought wired Xbox controllers for my steam deck and they are plug and play. Work perfect. 8BitDo didn’t work at all and needed special packages I didn’t bother with.
