> Unfortunately holding the PS5 controller gives me crippling pain in my wrists and it also doesn't have any games I care about
Juice might not be worth the squeeze, but have you tried one of their Access controllers?

No, but I'm using a PS4 controller with my Linux PC. Really comfy controller, I just had to replace the original charging port since it stopped working with usb-c and also I had to replace the rubber pads inside.
Very cheaply made given the price, but it's one of the few controllers with a touch pad that works on Linux. The touch pad is nice to get the mouse cursor out of the way.
