this is not bluetooth.

Neither is the xbone dongle, as you argued.

The difference is: The dongle uses all the normal standards, and doesn't need a kernel driver like the msft piece of shit.

no, I said;

No one has done bluetooth right because you can’t do bluetooth right here.

so you have me mistaken with someone else. Also, im not sure I appreciate why does it matter if a driver is in /hid or /input/joystick in this regard?

If you need a dedicated driver anyways, what is the difference between them?

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My point is that the PS link doesn't need a dedicated driver, why does this one?

[–] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yeah, but pslink does still require hid/playstation. this is an newer replacement to joystick/xpad with more features. IMO that is more or less roughly the same there.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Hid is what should be required.

There are a million standards already here, I'd they really want to they can extend hid or something.

This is just a scrappy proprietary driver for no reason :(
