I got my moonlight/sunshine rig running with fedora on the server and my AppleTV as the client. My DualShock 4 controller works but isn’t mapping right and it’s old enough that it’s probably time I bought something new rather than bother fixing it anyway.

I have an Xbox wireless controller but it just never felt right in my hand.

I have 8bitdo SN30 controllers but they never were able to keep a stable connection.

I’m considering either a Sony dualsense controller and charger, 8bitdo ultimate 2, or 8bitdo pro 3.

Opinions?

    If you can wait, the new steam controllers probably work great on Linux. Ofc all theoretical until they start shipping.

        Moonlight should pass through the controller from the client to the host. that is how it works on my vm at least

          Moonlight doesn’t pass through hardware. Ever. It captures the input, sends it to the host, and the host software emulates a real controller giving those inputs on the host.
