People don't know what the Steam Controller is
the 8bitdo ultimate 2c cost me $30. The build quality is great, it has hall effect sticks, 4 bumper buttons 2 back buttons and it pairs with PC and Switch 2... and again it was $30 This adds trackpads for an additional $70 but it also put both the sticks and pads in odd positions. That is not ideal

Best budget controller ($35–40)? Aolion K20 TMR vs GameSir Nova Lite vs 8BitDo Ultimate 2C vs Flydigi Direwolf 4

Best controller for Linux?
I've never had any real trouble with wired Xbox controllers and the wireless 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is currently working fine for me (you do need Windows to update the firmware on the 8bitdo stuff, however).

Want to love CachyOS but...
I use a 8bitdo Ultimate 2C and that has just been plug and play for me. It did stop working when I tried to install Xbox controller drivers for some reason, but worked fine again after I removed them.

Recommendation for kids?
8bitdo has pretty affordable controllers. the ultimate 2c bluetooth controllers work pretty well, aren't that expensive, and feel comfortable (though they might be too big for kids' hands? not sure). they also have more expensive and full featured controllers like the pro3, but if you're getting one
