      Go ahead and update the firmware or change button bindings on an Xbox controller using Linux for me. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

        Back in my day you just connect a controller and play. Do I have to be worried about people using my unpatched controller for a botnet now?

        I use a Dualshock4 to control my Linux Mint TV smart TV replacement, and it was easy to set up and rebind to control the mouse, and common keys on the controller. It is even easier with an Xbox controller.

        As for updating firmware, it is literally less clicks on linux than on windows.

        If we’re assuming the user is trying to run this through Win10 to get the Bluetooth working (which is the only real reason I know of to update the firmware like that), then xpadneo supports Bluetooth out the box with no issue. Moreover, the user said they were trying to modify the settings and gave no mention of any firmware update.

        I hope you’re satisfied with the fruits of your eight minutes of patient waiting.

          I’m not looking to update the firmware of the controller; rather, I want to customize certain settings, such as rebinding keys and adjusting actuation points. While some of these modifications can be done with third-party software on Linux, my controller inherently supports these features at the hardware level. Therefore, I don’t see any reason not to take advantage of it

        change button bindings

        AntiMicroX. Simple graphical application to rebind controller inputs to keyboard and mouse actions. You’re welcome.
