2,4ghz Dongle controller
Hi! For my HTPC setup I use my turtle Beach Stealth ultra controller. On Bluetooth everything works fine. However I can’t connect to my 2,4 ghz dongle. I would like to use that one since the latency is a bit lower. Anyone that knows a solution how to make it work?

controller has to be in xinput mode when in dongle mode and the
xpad (wired xbox controller support) driver has to have support for it
why is the xpad driver used? because the dongle itself usually pretends to be a wired xbox controller.
there is a chance that the controller might work as is with xpad, it just needs automatic detection added.
you can try this with
sudo modprobe xpad && echo 2dc8 3106 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id
replace 2dc8 3106 with the vendorID:deviceID for your dongle from lsusb
should show up as something like 2dc8:3106 just replace the : with a space when you add it to the command
if the controller does not work after that command then you will have to wait for xpad or ask them if it is possible to add support for the dongle.That sounds pretty complicated but I’ll try later today! Thanks 🙂
it is not very complicated, just looks complicated 😅
youre just running 1 command and grabbing 2 sets of characters and add them to the long command that just loads the xpad drivers and manually adds the dongles IDs to it and hopes for the best :clueless:
