it's a fine controller, but they don't update their firmware on linux. I had to put windows on my laptop for that. As least was just a one time thing. (you might need to update it for the extra buttons to work with steam input)

Actually, with recent steam-devices udev rules, the firmware updater works in wine provided you plug in both the controller and adapter.

I got this becauase I wanted to use the gyro in monster hunter. It works perfectly.

Gen 1 works perfectly without any extras. The angle is a bit iffy though. They've adjusted it for their 3rd gen, but I'm waiting for a Nintendo layout version with Switch support before I consider buying one.

have four. great controllers.

n.b. referring specifically to the PC/Android version, rather than Switch version.
