I have my steam deck mostly in my dock on my big screen but I been needing a controller for it.

Does anybody know a good brand that's not Xbox or PlayStation or Nintendo that supports Linux and there software for there controller works on the steam deck to be able to adjust the settings on the controller?

Preferably with holo joystick and can work wirelessly or wired with back buttons like a steam deck.

I thought about 8bitdo buy there software don't work on Linux.

Ahh that’s gonna be a real hard find.

I thought OpenRGB would be able to give some starting point so I looked it up, but there’s a grand total of 11 supported gamepads, half of which are the PS controllers. So we’re out of luck there.
