Thus far I have been playing on my XBox 360 wireless controller, but the rubber has worn off one of the sticks so far, i can feel the edge of the hard plastic beneath it when I play. The springs in the triggers are creaking as well.
So I am looking for a replacement.
Some people recommended the 8BitDo controllers. The [8BitDo Ultimate 2.4 Ghz Controller](https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-ultimate-2-4g-controller-with-charging-dock-hall-effect-joysticks) offers hall effect sensors and a loading dock for the same price as a regular Xbox or Playstation controller.
I found some posts about the compatibility with Linux. The BT+2.4 version seems to have more problems, but even the 2.4Ghz version needs some tinkering.
Does anyone have any experience with 8BitDo in general or the 2.4Ghz model in particular?
Are there other controllers I should look at? I mostly play rogue likes with controller and would like a XBox/Playstation style controller.
Thanks.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I used them and watched some reviews. I went from the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4Ghz to the GuliKit KK 3 Max and finally landed at the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Ordered it from Aliexpress (not available at Amazon in Europe) for under 50€.
Today I was contacted by someone at work.
She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name.
She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile.
This is just a small anecdote about privacy practices and their real life impact (and how your employer can undo all of it, I guess)
Podcasts partner up with ad providers. They inject ads into the episodes depending on several factors, including your location. The podcast has some say and can for example exclude some topics like politics. That catches most, but an ad can also be misrepresented and slip through.
I use Antennapod as well and they have nothing to do with it. They just download episodes from RSS feeds provided from other services.
You could use a VPN server in a smaller country. If the ad market is very small, there simply might be no ads to serve you.
I can also recommend using a swiss VPN server. The funny swiss dialect makes it hilarious.
