    I feel this. I’ve been spending two hours trying to get my wireless Xbox controller to work… Installing the xone packages causes freezes and kernel panicks…

      Weird, I use arch (btw) and a generic Bluetooth driver and have had zero issues with my wireless Xbox controller… Never needed xbox-specific packages

      Hmmm… that’s strange. Afaik, Xbox controllers should be very well supported out of the box in most distros.

      Ahhhh, I see. I did a bit of reading out of curiousity. You’re looking to have it work wirelessly. Hmm. I see a forum post troubleshooting the same thing recommending a package called xpadneo. There’s a github page for it here and it seems to have some package maintainers in a handful of distros (you can use the manual method if your distro isn’t listed).

      I checked it on the AUR, the most up to date maintained package was from last December, so the app seems fairly up to date(ish). If you want to see the forum post I was talking about its this one.

      Good luck, hope you get it working.
