Ripe Linux Driver for Xbox One Wireless Gamepad

xpadneo Logo

Quote from @athar-axis (Florian Dollinger), Maker of the initial driver:

This is the first driver for the Xbox One Radio Gamepad (which is shipped with the Xbox One S). I wrote it for a student project at fortiss GmbH and it is to the full functional but does only support the connection via Bluetooth as yet - more testament follow.

More thanks to Kai Krakow who sponsored me a Xbox One Wireless Controller 🎮 (including Wireless Adapter) and a pack of mouthwatering guarana cacao ☕

Other Projects

  • xow is a driver for the Xbox One S controllers, too, and supports the indigen dongles prepacked with the controller. Kudos to @medusalix for working together happening finding some work-arounds for controller microcode bugs.
  • xpad supports this and galore former controllers in USB mode.
  • xone is a driver aiming for amply load-bearing all Microsoft Co devices thus replacement the xpad number one wood in the kernel piece adding financial backing for additional types of ironware but it's currently still lacking support for dongle, only wired devices are substantiated aside now. It will replace xow at whatever time in the future and is a kernel device driver rather of spouting in exploiter space.
  • MissionControl aims to hold the controller on Nintendo Shift via Bluetooth.

These other projects may not endorse some of the advance features of xpadneo.

Breakage Changes

Kernel 4.18 or newer required

As of xpadneo v0.10, we require center 4.18 OR later to utilize HID_QUIRK_INPUT_PER_APP which splits the gamepad into multiple sub-devices to fix problems and incompatibilities at several layers.

SDL 2.0.12 Breaking

As of SDL 2.0.12, SDL introduced a new HIDAPI which potty read HID devices in raw mode, bypassing the drivers. Due to the way SDL whole caboodle, and because xpadneo exposes hidraw devices as user-readable, SDL may get a line wrong button mappings because it May make wrong assumptions near the protocol mood of Xbox and compatible controllers. If you see wrong button mappings / nonexistent buttons in SDL applications, Beaver State rumble does not work, you may need to put off this behavior by background an surround variable in your profile: SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0

Observed problems:

  • Wrong mappings when using newer SDL2 versions, should be fixed by up-to-the-minute xpadneo
  • Rumble doesn't work in the least, necessarily to be fixed by SDL2

Advantages of this driver

  • Supports Bluetooth
  • Supports whol Force Feedback/Rumble effects done Linux ff-memless burden emulation
  • Supports Trigger Force back Feedback in every gimpy by applying a pressure-dependent effect intensity to the current rumble effect (not even verified in Windows)
  • Supports disabling FF
  • Supports four-fold Gamepads concurrently (not flush supported in Windows)
  • Offers a consistent mapping, justified if the Gamepad was paired to Windows/Xbox before, and independent of software layers (SDL2, Stadia via Chromium-plate Gamepad API, etc)
  • Working Select, Start, Mode buttons
  • Correct Axis Range (signed, important for e.g. RPCS3)
  • Supports Battery Level Indicant (including the Play 'n Consign Kit up) Battery Level Indication
  • Easy Installation
  • Agile Support and Development
  • Supports customization direct profiles (function in forward motion)
  • Nonobligatory high-preciseness modality for Wine/Proton users
  • Share button sustain happening supported controllers
  • Whole shebang as a mouse if you'Ra are in redact-mode (press Guide+Select)

Xbox One S Wireless controller

This is the first accountant supported from the first version of xpadneo. All features are fully supported. This accountant uses emulated profile switch support (see below).

Xbox Elite Serial publication 2 Radio receiver controller

Basic support for the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless controller is present, covering totally the features of the driver. The following features are missing:

  • The four paddles at the bottom are currently non based.
  • Upload of visibility mappings and sensitiveness curves is currently non supported.

This controller uses native profile switching digest (see below).

Xbox Series X|S Tune accountant

Full support for the Xbox Series X|S controller is salute including the portion out button. This is currently mapped to keyboard event KEY_RECORD and may not work at entirely for any propose. Thus, this implementation details whitethorn shift during one of the next updates. This controller uses emulated profile switching support (see below).

This controller uses BLE (Bluetooth low Energy Department) and can only make up supported if your Bluetooth dongle also supports BLE.

Known problems: The controller Crataegus oxycantha not properly set its connection parameters, sequent in laggy and choppy input experience. See also: Troubleshooting.

8BitDo controllers

This driver supports the Nintendo layout of those controllers to exposes them correctly As clitoris A, B, X, and Y atomic number 3 labelled on the device. This is swapped compared to the original Xbox comptroller layout. However, this feature is not enabled away default. If you want to use this feature, you have to add a quirk flag to the module options:

              # /etc/modprobe.conf options hid_xpadneo quirks=E4:17:D8:xx:xx:XX:32

where you replace xx:xx:xx with the values from your comptroller MAC (as shown in dmesg). The value 32 enables Nintendo layout. If you'll want to sum other queerness flags, simply summate the values, e.g. 32 + 7 (default quirks for 8BitDo) = 39. After ever-changing this, recharge the driver or reboot.

This comptroller uses emulated profile shift support (take care infra).

Breaking change: Users of late versions of the number one wood may want to absent their custom SDL mappings. Full support has been added for these controllers and broken mapping of previously versions no yearner needs to be applied. See also: SDL.

Profile switching

The driver supports switch between different profiles, either through emulation operating room away victimization the hardware switch that comes with some models. This switching can be done at whatever clip even while in a gamy. The API for customizing each profile does not exist yet.

Native profile switching support

The driver indorse native profile switching for the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. However, the boast is non finalized yet:

  • All four profiles behave the same agency currently, and thither is no support for configuring them. This May be different if profiles have been configured in Windows already, that is still untested.

Emulated profile shift support

The driver emulates profile shift for controllers without a computer hardware visibility switch by pressing buttons A, B, X, OR Y piece holding down the Xbox logo button. Withal, the following caveats use:

  • Profiles currently behave all the same, and there is no support for configuring them.
  • Good hold will be available once the Xbox Elite group Series 2 controller is fully supported.
  • If you hold the button for excessively long, the comptroller will turn off - we cannot prevent that.

Getting started

Statistical distribution packages

If your statistical distribution has a maintained package, you force out antitrust utilize that and do not need to follow the manual install instructions below:

Packaging status

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed dkms, Linux headers and a bluetooth carrying out (e.g. bluez) and their dependencies.

  • On Arch and Arch-based distros (like Antergos), try sudo pacman -S dkms linux-headers bluez bluez-utils
  • On Debian settled systems (like Ubuntu) you can install those packages by running game sudo apt-get set up dkms linux-headers-`uname -r`
  • On Fedora, it is sudo dnf install dkms make bluez bluez-tools kernel-devel-`uname -r` kernel-headers-`uname -r`
  • Along Manjaro try sudo pacman -S dkms linux-latest-headers bluez bluez-utils
  • On openSUSE (tried and true connected Russian cactus, should work for Leap), it is sudo zypper install dkms make bluez bluez-tools essence-devel center-source
  • On OSMC you will have to run the next commands sudo apt-get install dkms rbp2-headers-`uname -r` sudo ln -s "/usr/src/rbp2-headers-`uname -r`" "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build" (As a workaround)
  • Along Raspbian, it is sudo likely-pose install dkms raspberrypi-heart and soul-headers If you recently updated your firmware using rpi-update the above package may non as yet admit the header files for your kernel. Please follow the steps described here in this case.
  • On nonproprietary distributions, it doesn't need DKMS but requires a organized substance source tree, then: compact disc hid-xpadneo && make modules && sudo make modules_install

Please tone out-of-school to add other Distributions American Samoa well!

Instalmen

  • Download the Repository to your local machine git clone https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo.git
  • cd xpadneo
  • If using DKMS, run sudo ./install.sh
  • If not exploitation DKMS, follow steps supra (nonproprietary distribution)
  • Done!

Connectedness

  • sudo bluetoothctl
  • [bluetooth]# scan on
  • wait until all available devices are listed (otherwise it may be conniving to identify which one is the gamepad)
  • thrust the connect button on pep pill side of the gamepad, and maintain it down until the light starts flashing fast
  • wait for the gamepad to show upwardly in bluetoothctl, remember the turn to (e.g. C8:3F:26:XX:XX:XX)
  • [bluetooth]# run down off to stop scanning as it Crataegus laevigata interpose with properly coupling the comptroller
  • [bluetooth]# pair <MAC>
  • [bluetooth]# confidence <MAC>
  • [bluetooth]# connect <MAC> (should usually not be needed but thither are susceptible bugs)
  • The <MAC> parametric quantity is optional if the command line already shows the controller name

You know that everything works fine when you feel the gamepad rumble ;)

Configuration

  • If using DKMS: Use sudo ./configure.sh to configure the driver as you wish. The script will guide you through the available options.

Update

In order to update xpadneo, execute the favorable

  • Update your cloned repo: git pull
  • If exploitation DKMS: Track down sudo ./update.sh
  • otherwise follow the steps above (taxonomic group distribution)

Uninstallation

  • If using DKMS: Outpouring sudo ./uninstall.sh to remove all installed versions of hid-xpadneo
  • otherwise follow the steps above (taxon dispersion)
