Not just Xbox controllers, ~all controllers.
Nintendo hides them really well from you but there’s a menu options to go look for updates. My two 8bitdo controllers get quite regular updates, they have their own update tool for it.
This doesn’t look like Arch Linux.
What’s the benefit of updating a controller?
Updating to BLE and breaking old wireless adapter support, looking at you Xbox
Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn’t use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.
I would really hate if my controller worked like butter.
Guess it depends on the game.
i mean, is it hardware?
if yes, then it has software that translates physical actions to software. that requires firmware.
Holy shit, you just helped me realize why it’s called firmware.
The layer between hard and soft. It shouldn’t be, but my mind is blown.
