8bitdo and flydigi controllers support (lemmy.world)

Hi all. I am getting sick of the stick drift on the Xbox and PlayStation controllers, so I've started looking into 3rd party controllers with hall effect. Two kept popping up, flydigi and 8bitdo. If anyone owns one of these, how's their support on Linux? Do they work out of the box? Just plug in the dongle and you're good to go? Are they stable? I don't ever use any other buttons than the main ones, so I think won't need their software. Unless even the main ones needs programming! Do they? Thanks in advance

No worries, friend. I appreciate the effort. I got the 8bitdo ultimate 2c and the flydigi direwolf 3 and I love both. The latter does have a gyro, but it wouldn't work with rpcs3 as an actual gyro since the PS3 used sixaxis which rpxs3 doesn't support yet (knowing the wizards behind rpcs3, I doubt it would take long before they make it work). I can map the gyro to left stock, right stick or mouse. So I mapped it to the right stick and assigned the press and hold of the select button to activate it releasing it disables it.

I can't believe I haven't bought any of these controllers a long time ago. They're so great.
