Gaming controller

Postby mitlox » Jan 2nd, '24, 22:42

Hi,
I would like to play Steam games. I found two controllers:
* 8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G Wireless Controller which comes with a wireless USB dongle
* GuliKit Kingkong 2 Pro Controller Bluetooth

My mini AMD PC has Bluetooth 5.2. How many Bluetooth controllers can be connected?

Is 8bitdo or GuliKit better?

Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 supports up to 7 devices in general, whereas 5.1 and 5.2 allow for up to 20 simultaneous connections/devices.

But for your question, instead of ordering new controllers, can't you simply borrow some standard playstation/xbox/switch controller from somebody for testing, those should all work:

Although you may ask that in a forum that is more specialized in gaming, as this basically has nothing to do with Mageia.
