A couple of days ago I asked about using my xbox one controller with my steam deck. I did get it working via bluetooth but I’d prefer something I could plug into my dock. I have an old xbox 360 controller that still works but the PC receiver I had no longer works. If I get a replacement 360 receiver (or maybe a different receiver for an xbox one controller) will that work out of the box on my steam deck?
I know there’s a project for the xbox one receiver I’ve got but due to the way SteamOS is set up I’d need to reinstall those drivers whenever there’s an update which I don’t really want to bother with.
Yup, I use an old 360 controller + USB receiver with my Deck and it works great.
As someone who just tried this with the Xbox Wireless Controller and the wireless dongle it does not. I have a 360 controller that I haven’t tried I guess, but I’m guessing it would have the same issue. Even after trying the script I had no luck. Bluetooth works like you said, but the latency is pretty bad. I just decided to get a long usb to usb-c cable since that’s plug and play without the latency.
