I have a couple Xbox controllers. Wired they work fine. If you use Bluetooth it really depends on the Bluetooth chip and I’ve had some really bad ones. Also certain models will require firmware updates from Windows before they will pair.

Do you need more than locate offers?

Of all those, I’ve only heard of Heztner. Am I out of touch?

I’ve been a Linode customer for years, and I used to use Digital Ocean as well. I’ve been happy with them, did you consider them?

Ludusavi does it all for you, works great, and the dev implemented my feature request within a few weeks (handling a mounted Windows drive better)
