For wireless I used an Xbox One controller and the pc dongle with this driver: https://github.com/medusalix/xone
DualSense and DualShock 4 are both great in my experience. I've read that input lag can be problematic with certain bluetooth modules, but is fixable by using a different one. (My inexpensive USB bluetooth dongle works very well with both controllers.)
DualSense works out of the box via USB-C or Bluetooth. Feels very responsive to me.
I use a wired Xbox One S controller for most games, sometimes a wired Switch Pro controller for Nintendo games. Haven't noticed any latency with them, myself.
Yeah also got a wired Xbox One S controller and it works great
I use an 8bitdo Pro 2 in wired mode and it works great.
I have 8bitdo 2.4G wireless conroller and it is amazing. Works out of box on Linux.
I use a PS5 controller and it worked great right out of the box. It also has the added bonus that you can use the touchpad on it as a trackpad to control your mouse cursor.
I've been using 8bitdo SN 30 Pro+, it's pretty good with standard games and also it's gyro helps with Switch Emulation
8BitDo ultimate 2.4GHz is amazing. Uses a usb dongle for low latency, but the latest update also enabled a bluetooth mode. It also has a charging dock and the best dpad I've used.
Yeah I was a staunch user of the Dual Sense but once I got the charging dock and low latency with the 8bitdo I haven't looked back. Also back buttons are handy
Oh yeah I forgot it had back buttons, they're always useful for games that aren't optimized for controllers. Especially with steam input, since you can make radial menus to do a lot of things.

The 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth is awesome! Bought it when it launched, and so far, haven't regret it.
I alternate between a PS4 controller and Switch Pro controller. Overall I think the PS4 controller is more comfortable and the touchpad on it is really convenient for using as a mouse.
PS4 controller forever. It 'just works' and I'm used to it after the decades. Can't stand the PS5 controller. It feels too big like the first xbox controller.
