I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

@TxTechnician Xbox One S controllers work pretty well on Bluetooth. I can connect 4 controllers at the same time but more than 2 is not really stable. And if you don't mind some tweaking, they work better with https://atar-axis.github.io/xpadneo/.
I also used Logitech F310 without any problem. Oh, and steam controller works well too.

Three PCs two different containers. I cannot get Xbox controllers to work with Linux over Bluetooth.

@TxTechnician interesting, are you sure your controllers support BT? I've been successfully using them with both of my laptops and steam deck. The key configuration can be a problem but xpadneo solves that. I love their ergonomics.

Well, now I remember that I couldn't connect one of the latest generation controllers to one of my laptops. It needed BT LE and the laptop didn't support it. But One S controllers are fine.

I know they work with windows. Maybe it is the bt version.
