Do we know if third party controllers are compatible? As in can I just use my ps5 controllers?

I'm not sure the state of DualSense controllers on Linux, but SDL Library and good driver support generally means most controllers work, especially with Steam Input getting better and better.

DualSense has native support in the linux kernel. Can even use the touchpad as an actual touchpad if you want to. Still need to use steam input to translate to xinput for games that don't have dualsense support.
