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.
Dafuq? How didn‘t i think about it in that way before? I always associated „firm“ with company. Makes much more sense now, lol
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.
Did this to my GameSir hall effect pad too on the very first day.
Yes they can, and I updated it mine, which I bought only to play with my Android phone (I don’t have an xbox) and then Call of Duty Mobile didn’t detect it anymore.

Dammit, I shouldn’t have updated it then. That would have been funny as!
This doesn’t look like Arch Linux.
What’s the benefit of updating a controller?
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.
Updating to BLE and breaking old wireless adapter support, looking at you Xbox
