I was going through my old stuff and found an Xbox 360 controller and the wireless PC receiver that was once a requirement before the bluetooth-enabled controllers. I remember using it when I was a Windows user but I’m completely stuck on how to use it under Manjaro. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    Arch wiki says

    Both the wired and wireless (with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) controllers are supported by the xpad kernel module and should work without additional packages.

    I guess my question is, have you tried plugging in the receiver? You’ll need the receiver for it to work, they are 2.4Ghz not BT

      It’s not. Series X and series S use native Bluetooth and work with xpadneo. Older controllers use their own proprietary receiver that needs to be plugged into the machine and work with regular xpad.
