  • Making Xbox One wireless adapter work in LibreELEC on rpi4

  • X Box series X controller with USB Dongle on Steam Deck?
    It needs a driver, looks like there is one here: https://github.com/medusalix/xow. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Recommended Controllers?
    Been using Xbox One Elite controllers (both gen 1 and 2) for a couple years now without issue and I even use the proprietary Xbox wireless USB dongle. If you use this "xone" driver then it just works as it does in Windows. It's an evolution of the older "xow" driver where you'd just have to run a command to invoke the pairing process, if anyone was familiar with that driver. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Has anyone tried using an Xbox Series X/S controller chatpad as a keyboard yet?
    You need an Xbox wireless dongle, disabling read-only mode and install xow driver. https://github.com/medusalix/xow. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Xbox wireless controller adapter on Linux
    I own 2 Xbox controllers, and I'm wondering if the wireless adapter works on Linux natively, or if I need to install other drivers, like xpadneo or XoW? Source: over 1 year ago
