Linux Compatible!
0 of 1 found this helpful I don't usually bother writing reviews but I'm delighted with this. I mistakenly purchased a standard Xbone controller before this, for my PC, only to discover that it did not work with standard bluetooth but instead required the eye-wateringly expensive official wireless adapter (separate product). You can buy this newer S model plus a £3 micro bluetooth dongle for the same price, with the added bonus that you don't have to put up with a giant adapter sticking out of your USB port.
The controller itself is top quality, sticks are smooth as silk, I love it. I also have a Steam controller which can sometimes be easier to set up via Steam Big Picture, but you can't play twin-stick shooters with it because of the right touchpad.
NOTE: it requires bluetooth 4.0 (2.0 will not work!)
For Linux users, there is a tweak that will fix the repetitive connect/disconnect problem but it won't allow me to post it here so look it up.

Yes, it works
It's a cable. It works. End of.

Works With Ubuntu
2 of 2 found this helpful I'm very pleased with this controller. It works flawlessly out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 16.04 (which was my main concern). You lightly glide your thumb over the right pad to move the pointer/gun/whatever, it makes the whole experience feel relaxed but sharp. You can even use the device on your normal desktop as a makeshift mouse. I highly recommend it.
Hot tip: if you experience a horrid repetitive sound and the controller is unresponsive, unplug your wireless mouse/keyboard because it's clashing!
