my original Xbox One controller has been seamless with my Linux Mint setup, and it runs off of two AAs

    ACKTCHUALLY the original Xbox One controller does not support bluetooth, that only happened with the controllers that were released after the Xbox One S/X.

    you may be right; I never followed Xbox releases (not that microslop's naming convention helps)

    all I know is I've had this controller since late 2018

    I've got one of the original XBox One controllers, pre-bluetooth. It uses a dongle that is actually a 2.4Ghz wifi dongle. Linux defaults to seeing it as a wifi dongle unless the right packages are loaded. Quite a headache.
