    Just curious, did windows VM see it as a genuine Xbox controller or just a generic input device?

      It’s been a few months since I worked on it but IIRC Windows VM saw it as a controller, which made it that much more confusing as to why the app wouldn’t recognize it.

      I was using QEMU/KVM on my Fedora box for the VM. It’s possible it would work using a different client such as VirtualBox or the likes. I had spent enough time on it by that point so I just went the Win10 on spare laptop route to get it done as I was sick of screwing around with it.

      The irony is I spent almost 20 years in IT supporting Windows and solving all kinds of unique issues that arose from unconventional business needs. Glad to be out of the MS world now.
