Hello lemmings, I’d like to buy some sort of gamepad I can use on my PC (running opensuse tumbleweed linux).

Since my youth I’m a die hard keyboard & mouse player, but since I’d like to try co-op with my wife I’d need second device. What is currently considered a good buy? Should be good in terms of price/quality ratio. I don’t want to spend a lot on a thing with questionable future, might as well end up being ultimate dust collector. On the other hand I don’t want to buy ultra cheap POS that would have terrible build and insta drifting joypads.

Wireless is a plus, but should have its own USB receiver (box PC without bluetooth).

Last thing: I’m based in EU, so should be available there.

Thank you very much!

    Most controllers should work, if getting an Xbox one controller pay attention that it has Bluetooth connection (not all of them do, I think the first ones didn’t). If getting a PlayStation controller the glyphs might not match on most games.

      For the Xbox One Gamepad I had to update the firmware to use the Bluetooth, which was only possible with an Xbox or a Windows Computer, which I both don’t have. I had to use a friend’s computer for this.
