  • Literally anything can “enshittify”. A project being open source does not ensure that won’t happen.

    you can’t fork it.

    Well, technically you can, there’s nothing stopping you. There are 121 forks already. Not sure you can distribute it though.

    Regardless of all of this, it’s just like any app or service. You can use it while it meets your needs and drop it when it doesn’t. In this particular case, you can at least see the source code and actually make sure that there’s nothing bad in there.
















  • I’m using an 8bit ultimate 2c. For the price (think I paid 25 for it) it ca’t be beat.

    However, I have two xbox controllers. One is about 6 years old and has bt but the other one is the older version that only worked with the dongle. Thankfully neither has stick drift. That’s not a “Microsoft” problem though, it’s simoly because the type of stick they use wears out. The steam deck has the same issue. If you want to fix it, you can just replace them with TMR or Hall Effect sticks.

    Regardless of that, it’s a fact that they’re most likely the most popular pc controller, and there already is a way to use them on steam with the dongle. But the driver has to be reinstalled every single time you update. SteamOS has a ticket ablut this going back years and years but they refuse to add support.

    EDIT: You don’t need tl constantly reinstall the driver, there’s a decky plugin to add support for the dongle. Link.
