Hello lemmings, I’d like to buy some sort of gamepad I can use on my PC (running opensuse tumbleweed linux).
Since my youth I’m a die hard keyboard & mouse player, but since I’d like to try co-op with my wife I’d need second device. What is currently considered a good buy? Should be good in terms of price/quality ratio. I don’t want to spend a lot on a thing with questionable future, might as well end up being ultimate dust collector. On the other hand I don’t want to buy ultra cheap POS that would have terrible build and insta drifting joypads.
Wireless is a plus, but should have its own USB receiver (box PC without bluetooth).
Last thing: I’m based in EU, so should be available there.
Thank you very much!
The Logitech F310 (wired) and F710 (wireless) are ok. The F710 has a big 2xAA battery compartment which is uncomfortable for some.
Save your receipt, because Logitech’s warranty is better than their construction. I destroyed my first F710’s control pad on my second play of Crosscode, but they sent me a new one.
Do not use either one to operate a manned submarine.
I have an F710 which I used and enjoyed for years, but it uses a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol, and at some point, something wireless near me started interfering with it – occasionally, it’d stop responding to me for a second, which was frustrating in action games. I didn’t see the problem with Bluetooth controllers.
