I don’t need anything special or pricey, just a basic controller that does basic controller things.

I’ve tried a few generic controllers, but they have issues with bluetooth, battery life, and automatically shutting off too early from idling.

Does anyone know of any generic controllers that don’t have these issues? I don’t mind if the battery life isn’t the same or better than official controllers, but they shouldn’t straight up lie about the capacity. It should be illegal.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I’m using KDE with X11 on a laptop, so it’s probably not so easy for me to turn it of 🙁

      Why are you using X11 on Plasma? Wayland support has been great for a long time on Plasma and they’re working towards deprecating X11.
