If you want to play on Xbox and get as close to the original Xbox experience as possible, I highly recommend the GameSir G7 Pro. Its current retail price in China is 444 RMB, and it comes with a charging dock (so no need to worry about battery life) and a 2.4G receiver. In my opinion, this is much better than the Xbox controller’s AA battery design. Of course, the price can drop during sales—many people have gotten it for under 400 RMB.
I don’t recommend other controllers, because the Beitong Kunpeng has a larger mold and doesn’t support Xbox gameplay, and its product doesn’t compete as well as GameSir in overseas markets.
Another option is the 8BitDo X-Pro, but in my opinion, it’s only for people with smaller hands or those who like a retro look. Its value for money isn’t as good as the GameSir G7 Pro, especially since their prices are similar.

Sorry, I didn’t specify: PC, Bazzite Linux & Steam Deck to be precise.
Do these controllers have update able firmware? If so, do you know if it’s possible to do so in Linux?

“Just a personal note. For non-Chinese users, I’d recommend GameSir or 8BitDo instead – easier after-sales support, and the experience is just as good.”

“Works great on PC and Switch, but no promises for other platforms.”
