Dear Linux gaming community,

Do you have any good recommendations for a GameCube controller compatible with Linux? It can be wireless or not, that doesn't matter, as long as it is as close to the original controller at possible or better.

I've never owned a GameCube, so I intend on giving its games a go with an emulator. Especially the legend of Zelda and Metroid.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

I have been eyeing

Or

But I don't know about Linux capabilities unless you use the GameCube dongle with a GC to USB adapter in which case it should be fine because these are meant to work on real hardware.

Yeah I think that night end up being my decision after all.

Can confirm, I tried a couple of USB controllers and none were that great. Ended up getting a USB to GC adapter and it's worked great.
