I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

I haven't had any issues with my DS4s (PS4 controllers), and I've heard good things about DS5s. I've also used XBox 360 controllers with a dongle.

You could also look for Stadia controllers in case you can find a good deal. Stadia was discontinued, but they can be updated to work like regular controllers, at least through the end of the year. I don't have any direct experience with them though.
