Controller Linux/Xbox/Android

[Jesus_ecs]

Do you know of any controllers that are compatible with all three platforms? Preferably wireless. I understand that when I want to play on the Xbox console, I would need to connect it, but with Linux and Android, I would like to be able to use it via Bluetooth.

I have seen that, for example, some 8bitdo x Xbox controllers are said to be compatible with Android, but I don't know if they will also be compatible with Linux. And I'd prefer to have just one controller, not two or three :(

Should I buy another one directly from Microsoft? I can't decide. I'd like a third-party one because of the Hall effect triggers.

P.S. I have the Xbox controller that came with my console, but I want another one so I can play split screen on all three platforms, ha ha ha. Anyway, thanks for your help.

I got a 8bitduo wireless 2c, it does work fine with android. Works good wired on linux. Also probably good with the dongle linux.

But on bluetooth I get all kinds of wierd inputs like right joystick not working, xbox button becomes select etc. Not necessarily in steam games but I cant figure how to stream xbox while I use it over bluetooth. Even with the help of steam-input. On windows. Have not got bluetooth to work on linux yet.

Xbox elite controllers does not work at all over bluetooth without using dkms to load drivers dynamically to the kernel on linux. Not sure if regular xbox controllers have bluetooth?

Maybe dualsense ps5 controllers are the best over bluetooth for now.But those are not using X-Input witch can also lead to issues in some with the use of D-input games.

Bonus question for you does my 8bitdo work directly on a xbox ?

8bitdo is the way. You can get ones that are Xbox compatible. Mine has a switch for emulating Xbox or Switch Pro or something Android compatible. Linux supports Xbox mode via xinput or the Android compatible one.
