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.
I remember looking around when I found my old one in a box. I didn’t get it to work but I’m sure it’s possible.
I feel the same way. There have been a lot of projects using the Kinect on Linux so I figured some work would have been done for the chatpad.
I imagine there is some easy way I am missing like simply using some kind of controller remapping program.
I did find this https://github.com/timstableford/chatpad-linux
I don’t have linux right now nor a xbox chatpad right now but if I find the time I can try installing this and see what I can do to help. It seems the library is a wrapper of this:
