Hi all. I am getting sick of the stick drift on the Xbox and PlayStation controllers, so I've started looking into 3rd party controllers with hall effect. Two kept popping up, flydigi and 8bitdo. If anyone owns one of these, how's their support on Linux? Do they work out of the box? Just plug in the dongle and you're good to go? Are they stable? I don't ever use any other buttons than the main ones, so I think won't need their software. Unless even the main ones needs programming! Do they? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much. You have also answered a question I've had for the longest time ever. I've been dreaming of making a steam console for my bedroom, but didn't know if it can be woken up by the controller like any regular console. So, thank you.

    You're welcome! Sometimes I wake it up with my wireless keyboard, other times I wake it up with the Thunderobot controller. I haven't gotten Bluetooth activity to wake it up, but then again I haven't tried hard.

    I had to tweak the configuration so that it would wake up via activity from a USB device. But that's just part of getting used to managing your system's configuration, right? :)
