• 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 3 years 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 3 years 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: almost 4 years ago

• Steam Deck Client Update and SteamOS 3.3

  Can you not use the xbox wireless adapter? There is https://github.com/medusalix/xow which I have used on linux and it works perfectly fine. (I have no idea how and if it can be installed on the steamdeck though because I don’t own one). It requires a systemd service though, which might not be so trivial to set up on the steam deck.

• Xbox Elite 1 Connection

  You can download 3rd party drivers from here https://github.com/medusalix/xow . I have tested it with 4 Xbox one controllers and it seems to work flawlessly. Installation is a bit of a pain if you don't know Linux but it does work. Source: about 4 years ago

• How do I fix input of XBX One controller?

  This was copied from Stackoverflow and helped me with latency issues. Be warned that bluetooth support is quite bad for XBOX Series Controllers a Dongle will serve you better with xow. Source: over 4 years ago

• xone works perfectly on Fedora for Xbox One controllers (wireless with dongle)!

  I've been wanting to use my Xbox One controller wirelessly with the official dongle for it. This wasn't possible with xow, and I settled with using a long USB-C cable for a bit. Now that xone is out though, it works with the official dongle, and the instructions for installing it actually just-worked! Source: over 4 years ago

• Xbox keyboard compatibility?

  You might need the wireless usb dongle and the custom linux driver at https://github.com/medusalix/xow and even then you'd probably have to unlock the read only mode of steamos to install it. In regards to official chatpads anyway. Source: over 4 years ago
