Bazzite has been working so well that even the wife has converted over. It cured my distro hopping so I haven't played much attention to how other distros have been doing.

This is the only pad that comes to mind with the sticks in that position.

I may recall a Sega Saturn controller that had two analog sticks at the top, but those things were huge (and very likely no USB model).

This is very cool, thank you!
