I got my moonlight/sunshine rig running with fedora on the server and my AppleTV as the client. My DualShock 4 controller works but isn’t mapping right and it’s old enough that it’s probably time I bought something new rather than bother fixing it anyway.

I have an Xbox wireless controller but it just never felt right in my hand.

I have 8bitdo SN30 controllers but they never were able to keep a stable connection.

I’m considering either a Sony dualsense controller and charger, 8bitdo ultimate 2, or 8bitdo pro 3.

Opinions?

    For the Ultimate Wireless 2, check this gist.

    TL;DR:

    • Get a Windows Machine (a VM works too)
    • Download the 8BitDo Firmware updater
    • Update both the controller and the dongle’s firmware
    • Add the udev rule to your machine
    • When turning the controller on, hold the B button*

    Tada, Gyro and extra buttons.
    Not sure if it also works over wired and bluetooth but can confirm it works over the 2.4g dongle.

    *: Pulling it out of the dock while holding the B button won’t work for some reason.
    You must pull it out, turn it off, and turn it back on while holding the B button for it to actually work. Annoying!
