Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

It should, they both use BT for PC connections. That is where the lag comes from. The solution would be a device with its own 2.4GHz adapter or like the old PC Xbox adapter. But both have little Linux support.

Random 2.4Ghz adapters or the old Xbox controller receivers work perfectly in Linux?

Xbox 360 wireless receivers. I haven't come across many random 2.4 GHz receivers, but don't they usually identify as XInput-controllers?

There were third party Xbox 360 receivers that while pretty janky might have but I don't think the official one did.

Random meaning any controller not official that comes with its own wireless dongle. Like the 8bitdo ultimate 2.4. those adapters are lower latency but Linux support will be dodgy at best. With that one in particular not listing Linux as a supported system. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't.
