Finally found a Linux bluetooth gaming controller for only $17!
Hopefully no issues crop up, but I'll let you know if they do!

What Bluetooth controller does not work with Linux?
This innovative controller connects to your gaming machine with ZERO wires, back in my day we needed wires attached to other wires to connect a controller!!
Lots of them have finnicky issues. I made a video of the issues I was having.
Here's an open github issue of someone with an 8bitdo controller having the same reconnect issues I was having: https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/issues/9006
That's a very specific controller and bug when using the controller in a mode to emulate a switch pro controller.
I'm glad you found a controller you like, but standard Bluetooth controllers seem to be a none issue for most people.
That's been my experience. Steam controller, Xbox One controllers, 8bitdo sn30, 8bitdo ultimate mg have all worked fine for me on 3 different laptops, desktop, and steam link.
I think a lot of thje problem is just wanting a cheap controller, and cheap controllers typically arent well made and have problems that can be mistaken for linux issued when used on linux.
Its why I ended up just buying a official PS5 controller on black friday for 50% off, wasnt cheap.. but doesnt have any of the problem the cheap PoS's have either.
What are you talking about? These controllers already "emulate switch pro controllers" right out the box. No additional configuration is required.
With Yuzu, all you have to do is set the connected controller type to Pro Controller.
It says I'm "not authorized". What is a Linux controller?
Sorry! The video was accidentally set to private. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm referring to gaming controllers. This one is specifically a generic PS4 controller.
