Recommended Controllers?
Been using Xbox One Elite controllers (both gen 1 and 2) for a couple years now without issue and I even use the proprietary Xbox wireless USB dongle. If you use this "xone" driver then it just works as it does in Windows. It's an evolution of the older "xow" driver where you'd just have to run a command to invoke the pairing process, if anyone was familiar with that driver.

Compiling Linux driver for SteamDeck.
I am trying to add a Linux driver called XOW ( xow/README.md at master · medusalix/xow (github.com) ) to my steamdeck using Konsole. This driver allows the usb connection of the Microsoft controller dongle. I know I can use standard bluetooth but the dongle has lower latency, and well I guess I like a project. But I'm stuck.

Have you tried xow or xone? xow made the official XBone wireless dongle plug-n-play for me. I've been using it since 2018 or so.

There are some way to connect a headphone to the dualshock 4 3.5mm jack and listen to the game there?
There's a nice discussion about it on ds4windows GitHub: https://github.com/Jays2Kings/DS4Windows/issues/17 It's possible to do this, but neither ds4windows nor Linux drivers have implemented it. This behavior is very specific to Dualshock 4, and hard to figure out.

Controller won't connect
The issue has to do with the firmware of the controller (sometimes it might get corrupted). So your best bet is to download an open source DS4Windows (it’s open source) and install it. Here is the link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/Jays2Kings/DS4Windows/releases.

Looks like PS5 exclusive Returnal is headed to PC
People have been discussing it on the old DS4Win github as recently as last year. It seems like Ryochan just hasn't gotten around to it yet and nobody else is working on it, from what I'm reading.
