    They work out of the box, but the firmware updater is what’s windows only (pro 2 and pro 3 at least). Not even a MacOS version of the firmware tool.

    The larger issue I found with them was that hollow knight and silksong didn’t capture the triggers properly on their Linux version making them unplayable. Also the games would crash once in a while. You have to run the windows version with proton to get a solid experience. I read it was due to outdated Linux input libraries used by unity or whatever game engine it uses.

      Ok so no worse than Xbox controllers (and actually probably better if I learn to use wine). Good to know. I should’ve asked on here when I was looking

        I probably should mention I’m on bazzite, so a lot of things just work out of the gate, not sure about other distros.

          Fair enough. It was actually for my batocera, so maybe. My desktop is nobara, so things should be similar to bazzite
