Qanba Q7 Obsidian 2 Wired Joystick for PlayStation 5/4 and PC (Fighting Stick) Officially Licensed Sony Product

Odd considering the PS5 version was on sale for $175 on Amazon for the longest time throughout 2025. The Steamdeck uses SteamOS which is a variant of Linux from Valve, if the DualSense controller is natively compatible with it, then all PS5 peripherals (not DualShock 4/PS4 controllers) should be natively compatible with Linux without any additional software sideloaded. If anything, the same thing I mentioned about compatibility applies to other PS5 arcade sticks like the Nacon Daija ($175) and the Qanba Obsidian 2 ($200). The Daija is probably the best deal for value as it's pretty much the successor of the popular Razer Panthera (taller profile case, top lid clamshell, Sanwa parts and detachable cable) while the Obsidian 2 is more of a traditional design for people who love big arcade sticks (a bit over 19" wide!). Why I don't Suggest Xbox arcade sticks is because I'm unfamiliar with Xbox One and Series arcade sticks and the Xbox One's Xinput isn't as universally compatible as the Xbox 360's Xinput. It might have been fixed with the new "Game Pad I" and "Game Pad II" mode switch where "Game Pad II" is PC universal Xinput. DualSense is different from DualShock 4, PS4 consoles are not forward compatible with DualSense and PS5 peripherals unless they have a dedicated mode switch which is why almost all third party licensed PS5 peripherals have 3 modes built into them. The only exception is the Razer Kitsune which is strangely only PS5 and PC only.
