    If this lets you install Linux that would be neat.

    Unfortunately holding the PS5 controller gives me crippling pain in my wrists and it also doesn't have any games I care about, but if it could become a Linux media PC, you've got my attention. Especially once its price drops due to the next gen coming out.

      Juice might not be worth the squeeze, but have you tried one of their Access controllers?

        No, but I&#x27;m using a PS4 controller with my Linux PC. Really comfy controller, I just had to replace the original charging port since it stopped working with usb-c and also I had to replace the rubber pads inside.

        Very cheaply made given the price, but it&#x27;s one of the few controllers with a touch pad that works on Linux. The touch pad is nice to get the mouse cursor out of the way.

          Truly we live in a golden period where any of the major console vendor&#x27;s controllers can be reasonably well-supported on Steam and Linux. My own Gaming PC&#x27;s main companion is a spare Switch Pro Controller that I took out of rotation due to a stick-drift issue but then repaired.

      The way things have been going, it seems unlikely we&#x27;ll see a price drop any time soon.
