Hello lemmings, I'd like to buy some sort of gamepad I can use on my PC (running opensuse tumbleweed linux).

Since my youth I'm a die hard keyboard & mouse player, but since I'd like to try co-op with my wife I'd need second device. What is currently considered a good buy? Should be good in terms of price/quality ratio. I don't want to spend a lot on a thing with questionable future, might as well end up being ultimate dust collector. On the other hand I don't want to buy ultra cheap POS that would have terrible build and insta drifting joypads.

Wireless is a plus, but should have its own USB receiver (box PC without bluetooth).

Last thing: I'm based in EU, so should be available there.

Thank you very much!

This is what I am using. I have a cheap USB bluetooth dongle and use an xbox controller. Playing Lords of the Fallen with it and it's been perfect. It really is a "it just work" situation.
