When I bought mine, I kept an eye out for ones using a Fresco Logic
based implementation. I don't remember where I learned this from, but I
was told that those are some of the best compatibility-wise. Mine has
had no problems in Linux or Windows.

I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPIMJEW. I
pass through the whole controller, and it runs my HTC Vive just fine; as
well as the printer I have plugged into it.

Hope this helps?
