You can look into the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. It is what I use, comes with a charging dock, TMR sticks, and I’m sure some other things you might like.

I liked it so much I got two more for my friends who really liked how the sticks felt. It was $60 when I got them all. :-)

In was looking into something like an 8BitDo or seeing how good Turtle Beach is.

I’m sorry I didn’t realize before, but happy cake day! 🎂

I haven’t used Turtle Beach since the 360, so I can’t give you much there. I’ve had the 8BitDo since before Christmas last year and it is solid!

The dock holds the USB receiver so it works both on Fedora and Windows when I switch between them. Steam seems to recognize it as its own thing, and if you hold the B button when taking it off the dock or using the middle power button, it’ll switch to SDL mode and allow you to map the back paddles and the extra top bumper buttons to whatever you want! Plus the gyro stuff, but I don’t use that.

Hopefully that helps you a little more in your search! LTT (LinusTechTips) did a video on YouTube about a few third party controllers. You might watch that also to see if one of the controllers they show in that video suits your needs more! :-)

I forgot I even set cake day to this day. Not gonna lie, it's probably a random date I set because I don't want other knowing my real cake day.

Thanks for the info, too.
