Specifically Arch. I found a GitHub page for xbox360wirelesschatpad but the installation instructions are for Windows. I know LibUSB is available but the vjoy driver doesn’t seem to be. I feel like there’s probably some comparable package.

There might also be an alternative way to do this all together. There seem to be a few methods of doing this on Windows using third party applications.

I am mostly doing this for the novelty of it but I feel like it could be useful for navigating my PC from my couch or responding to messages through Steam.

It seems like this whole process is pretty plug and play with the Xbox One controller and it’s chatpad but that’s not what I am after.

    Sorry, I haven’t messed with node much and I don’t have a 360 controller to test anymore :(

      No worries.

      I don’t think you would technically need an Xbox 360 controller to test this. This is the step before running sudo nodejs index.js <serial port> and using the controller.

          Thanks for the suggestion. It seems like that would have made upgrading the packages a lot easier.

          Unfortunately after applying the fixes it suggests it seems to kind of send me in a circle. It did say at one point it might be a Python issue.
