Nrunning an Ally on the testing branch, and there's an update that keeps coming back. i apply it, reboot and it's still there
Hyes, also sorry for late reply. was in a meeting until now
Hi will also dig up the firmware for you to switch input mode on the dongle
Hdownload UltimateBLRR102B1m.zip from
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WB8UxW3DtND0inQyj7iWDV2qGB4dtIZV
extract and run the updater for the dongle
has to be done on a windows system sadly (VM does not work unless you passthrough a whole usb controller i believe), but once thats done you will be able to swap input mode with select+X (on the controller, so nintendo layout X)
you might have to update the controller firmware too, but you can do that with their 8bitdo ultimate software

EThanks for info
EYou have to do all that just to use the controller out if the box?
Hjust to get the functionality to switch input modes while using the 2.4ghz dongle
Hfor bluetooth mode you will always use switch input
Hand by default the dongle is xinput only
Hhence that beta firmware that is archived
EOh ok so oob experience is xinput for 2.4 dongle switch for bluetooth
Hyep
Hand that dongle firmware i linked is beta firmware to let you switch input mode while on the dongle
EOh cool thanks
EIf this controller solves my issues and makes these seamless ill have to buy the xbox style buttons for it and replace them so buttons are round right way
Hidk if the internals for the buttons are the same since i do not own the 2.4ghz version
Hbut most likely they are
EAnd by seamless I mean switch on htpc running bazzite pick up controller and everything just works like a console none of this turning controllers off and on bs to get stuff to work
ETheir website lists the xbox style buttons as compatible with Bluetooth ultimate
Hcan confirm it pairs with the dongle automatically when you pick up the controller, even in switch input, i use bluetooth mainly for the deck on it
Hnice
EThen this can tide us over till steam controller 2
EWhenever valve wakes up and makes that
EProb a day after my return window ends for the 8bitdo 
Hthe only issue with switch input and initial pairing is that gyro is broken when it pairs first but when i want to use gyro i just powercycle the controller (didnt test if this was the case in BT mode but i know its the case with switch mode in dongle mode)
Hlike gyro works, but it goes all over the place as if its drunk
ETbh I love gyro on the deck but I've tried with switch pro and that kingkong controller and I find it janky
EThink it's because I'm not also moving the screen
Hand for switch dongle mode i need to rotate the sticks once for the controller to calibrate them i guess. as i said the dongle firmware was beta
Hi like the gyro on the 8bitdo more than the kingkong 2 pro
Hdeck is still better
Hyeah the screen moving with the gyro helps a lot too
ETbh I'll prob just use xinput on 2.4ghz
EDoes rumble work on xinput in steam?
Hxinput works fine as long you set bazzite to use stock-gamepads 
Hit should
Hgive me 2 sec to check
EHow you set stock gamepads
Hujust use-stock-gamepads in terminal then rebootEOh yea that bit
Hits a set and forget thing unless you need ublue-gamepads drivers since you cant have both
Hrumble works in xinput
EAfter update I'd have to rerun command?
Hnope once its set its permanent until you run
ujust use-ublue-gamepadsESo if I set to stock can I not then use a switch pro controller too?
Hswitch pro controller will work fine with stock
EWhat does ublue gamepads do?
Hfrom what i remember it affects xinput only
Hsome controllers need breaking changes in the drivers to work, thats what ublue-gamepads does, it makes i think it was xbox series one controllers work
EAh k
