A fork/continuation of the original since the author has been away for a while. Supports kernels up to 6.15 with lots of other changes.
Could someone explain what this is for? I have an XSX wireless controller. I use it over BT with my Linux machines and it works out of the box with all games and the desktop. What functionality does this add?
If you use the wireless adapter this is required. I mainly use Linux but sometimes boot into Windows. Hence it’s easier to use the adapter and have it paired with the singular thing, than to re-pair it with Linux/Windows each switch.
Ah. I just use BT so that makes sense
My xbone controllers don’t have BT so I use this for the wireless dongle.
…
The fact that this made a patch message of any kind, MUCH less the announcement…
It should be in Bluetooth or HID, broken hardware that doesn’t follow standards is nothing to be proud of.
Well people who own the official Xbox One wireless adapter will have to disagree since that requires firmware with an incompatible licence and won’t get into the kernel. If you want to not use the poor Bluetooth on Xbone controllers or have an older controller that does not have Bluetooth you’ll have to use this. Plus this release gives publicity to the project which the previous owner neglected since he went MIA twice.
It’s trash hardware.
Xbone owners should be shaming ms into oblivion for making the kernel have to pollute itself with this garbage.
Note how ps5 controllers need ‘power’ (optional).
The wireless adapter functions extremely well and is no different than any Wi-Fi 2.4GHz dongle, in essence.
This driver also works really well.
I fail to see how two things working well together somehow results in your rant.
Because I’ve worked on hardware, and have drivers in the kernel.
It’s trash hardware if you’re duplicating the functionality of something else and not following the standards.

Microsoft could do a firmware update to fix their worthless broken shit, Bluetooth is like 20 years old now, you’d think even a company with their heads that far up their asses could get it right by now. For the dongle, have it present hid.
They’re just adding more trash drivers to the kernel we shouldnt need.to throw shit code for their shit drivers into the kernel repo everyone uses.
Alright what drivers have you worked on?
A bunch, mostly networking but some sriov and arm64 and old mips64 stuff.
Enough to have been on the bad side of one of linus’s rants.
This is shit engineering and msft should be shamed for it.

No one has done bluetooth right because you can’t do bluetooth right here.
My ps5 by works perfectly, as did my ps4 pad.
Think the ps3 one was USB, but that’s fine too.
Even the audio works out of the box.
I use my 8bitdo which is great too.
Everyone else can do this correctly, and when someone can’t they should be shamed, like msft.
