Many noname controller disguise themselves as x360 and the main way to get any controller working when a x360 is required is x360ce which disguises any controller as x360. You can even use your keyboard as x360. Plus this is 5 years old plus this is steam only.
Are any of those attempting wireless connections via a 2.4 GHz dongle? Really that’s the only reason you need a driver in the first place. All controllers are otherwise compatible with xinput.
The steam controller has it’s own dongle, with a driver in the kernel, which modern xbox controller could have.
Nah, mate, you don’t got to do anything but hit the windows update button. Proprietary versions ship with Windows which will automatically update with Windows. Windows will also tell you directly in device manager, as I’ve said.
Haven’t used windows 11 yet but in 10 i had to manually install gfx drivers
Okay, now I am talking to a wall. Like seriously, you’ve never had a driver you needed to specifically update? I am surprised. I’ve had to revert AMD and Nvidia drivers. I also just recently had to uninstall xow and install xone.
As I repeatedly said, most drivers are already in the kernel. I have a non-class compliant, 15 yo usb audio interface which is EOL according to the manufacturer and for which the latest 64-bit driver vor windows is for windows 7. It has a driver in the linux kernel and it works. Mainboard soundchip? Driver in the kernel! Network adapter? Driver in the kernel! Firewire pci card? Driver in the kernel! Good wifi/bt chipset? Driver in the kernel! 99% of your hardware require no install of a driver. NVIDIAs driver used to be spotty, but I heard it is better now. With AMD i personally never had any problem. Only drivers I had to manually install in like ever have been for shitty realtek wifi chips and a ffb-wheel (which would have worked but without ffb).
I don’t care, my opinion differs. Linux is supposed to be the OS of choice and customization.
And you’re free to go the slow and time consuming way with gui. Just accept that because of choice and customisation not every fringe detail about your pc will be avaible in a gui unless you choose your custom solution for displaying them.
