Me and my 2 other friends were planning to play fifa on my computer last night. I have 3 gamepads. One is xbox one controller. I use cachy os and I couldn’t connect my xbox gamepad. I connected it actually but the laptop was not able to understand that was a gamepad. It didn’t worked. I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux. And the worst part, if it was windows we would have no problem. Anyway, do you have any suggestions cause i thought cachy might not be the best option for gaming. I dont want dual boot my laptop, i hate windows

    The Xbox One controller is a bit goofy. I noticed the newest firmware actually makes it misbehave with the usual stack under linux. Haven’t had the time to debug since my controller was on it’s last legs anyway. Try rolling it back a release or 2.

      I second this. Firmware on these controllers is really hit and miss. My first controller (gen 5, iirc) worked flawlessly out of the gate. My second (gen 6 (?)) would co connect and then disconnect again. A firmware update (on Windows, grml) did the trick back then (and now I’m not touching that shit again).
