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.
This isn’t a Bluetooth adapter.
That’s how little you know about the subject you’re trying to rant about.
What in the fuck are you even talking about?
PS5 is bluetooth, standard bluetooth, and wired uses both standard HID and standard usb audio, my point is: Why isn’t MSFT?
Also, since you clearly don’t know the first fucking thing you’re talking about:
Look at how stupid broken this is! You need drivers to use it over standard USB!
Everything about this design is broken, it should be kicked out of the kernel and MSFT should release firmware that actually implements HID like normal, non-stupid people.
8bitdo has exactly this, same dongle system and pairing and again, it works perfectly without any drivers at all, because they’re not morons.
We are talking about a driver for the Xbox One wireless adapter.
Microsoft never submitted a kernel driver for this, it’s a third party module. It’s not Bluetooth - it’s WiFi, using a proprietary blob for authentication.
Not a single one of your claims in this entire thread have been correct.
You’ve literally missed my whole point.
Playstation link is this exact same thing, and btw, both controllers are dual-mode bluetooth and “high-speed wireless interface”, which is basically wifi or wifi-direct or some proprietary variant.
My point is, why isn’t it like Playstation link which just presents as HID devices and usb-audio devices, without a driver at all? Same low-latency, they even do LDAC.
or maybe it is sexual preference? holding playstation controller feels little like holding turds. dont like em at all.
I can respect that, I just think there should be a lot of pressure on MSFT to reprogram firmware to support linux natively.
The kernel has been desperately trying to move away from these 1-off, quirky drivers as they’re impossible to maintain.
