Have been using steam os forks (Bazzite/CachyOS) for some time now and use an Xbox Elite 2 and one of the Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 kits. Last night the adapter partially melted while my game was paused and the system was suspended. From my experience the adapter has always run very hot, even on Windows.

I like my Elite 2 but a bluetooth connection is often unstable and disconnects semi frequently which usually pauses whatever i’m playing. My question is this: Is there a low-latency adapter that will work for this controller instead of bluetooth, a better bluetooth adapter that will fix the disconnections, or should I give up and switch to a different controller? (not opposed to a dualsense)

Edit: I’m being told i need to provide a lot of info if i’m also looking for a controller suggestion so here it is:

Budget: Under $300

Purchasing Region: The United States of currently paying $5 a gallon for gas

Platform: PC Linux, Steam Input Compatible

Features: Doesn’t frequently disconnect. Also would love something that supports wake-on-usb but I know this isn’t common

Games: I play mostly Yakuza games but a wide variety of others as well

Comparing Controllers: Xbox Elite 2, Dualsense Edge
