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.

Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller support is coming to Linux
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.

Xbox Series S | X controllers aren't being detected on Fedora 38
In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

XBox controller via bluetooth
That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

The 1622nd questions about connecting xbox controller to Linux. Updated firmware, using sysfsutils & xpadneo still failed.
If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

Xbox Controller on EndevourOS.
This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.
