I’ve just pulled the trigger on a dock and I’m thinking it may be time to upgrade my external controller. I have a Logitech F710 which has been pretty decent for PC gaming and has worked well on Linux. I’m seeing the Xbox XS as a top recommendation. Is it worth the upgrade?

    I would highly recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller. It is around $50 and comes with a charging dock. The buttons and build quality are great. It automatically connects when taken off the dock which I find very convenient. You can use it with a usb dongle for low latency, but the most recent firmware update also enabled bluetooth support! It supports xinput and directinput, so it should work on any game with controller support on Linux and Windows.

    But of course if your controller still works for you, there’s no need to upgrade! I only purchased it because my dualshock 4s were reaching the end of their life.
