Playstation controllers have native support.

8BitDo controllers are also well supported.

Logitech gamepads work quite well.

Many generic no-name gamepads should also just work.

If you do experience any issues with any of these controllers, it is probably caused by Steam Input, you can try disabling it.

I love 8bitdo and Scuf controllers, but they rely on windows-only software for mapping the extra non-xinput buttons. Getting Steam Input to recognize them is a pain in the butt.

I don't really need another controller, but I really want the new Steam Controller.

I'm going to have to wait for it to come out to see whether I will want it. Simply looked too bulky, and dual trackpads? The sticks looked way too close for comfort too.

Microsoft Series X controllers have the best compatibility overall. No matter what games and what Store front. No need to rely on steam input.

The pad is simplistic, expensive and the buttons are loud but it works with any game that supports controllers. Especially important for non steam games.

Otherwise DualSense is better in every way.

I experienced gamebreaking stick drift after very light and minimal usage. Also had a host of issues getting the thing to work on Windows, let alone Linux. Unless the build quality and firmware testing has gone up, my experience was a borderline non-functional controller that had irreparable stick drift after 3 months of light use.
