I have the original and it works both with 2.4ghz and bluetooth out of the box. Been a very good experience.

I have the original ultimate wireless controller, and it works flawlessly for me on Fedora 41.

i’ve got a pro2, and while it speaks standard protocols fine, the “ultimate software” doesn’t work so you can’t remap the rear paddles. then again they can’t be used as their own buttons, only as shortcuts to other buttons on the controller. other than that it’s good.

Alright I didn’t know that. Not a great loss then ? From what I read it seems this one has an additional set of bumpers, in addition to the paddles. Maybe those are their own buttons

There is also phone app with same functionality, so no loss if you have a phone.
