I shall point out; that i have already investigated this topic on other sites, however; the issue comes solely from itch games. (which i think is an issue with the controller makers or something.)

anyways, i use linux; i have a controller; (EasySMX X10) it worked out for a few months but the dongle started randomly disconnecting; and suddenly the past few days it's become so frequent; i have began to investigate for a more long lasting controller. 

The current issue with using the wired function is the right joystick is off kilter and i have no means of changing it like i do with dolphin emulator. and the key mapping is just haywire as well... 

Ideallly,  i DON'T want a bluetooth controller and preferably either a wired plug and play controller with out much or any set up. (remapping the keys, or installing an app... most of them are not developed for linux and i don't have a smartphone.)

I am currently uncertain on many of the controllers... i am looking at a PS4 controller; though i have no idea on whether or not i could just use the wire instead of bluetooth. Please don't suggest i just use bluetooth...
