Steam Deck: Install Xbox Wireless Adapter Drivers (Low Latency, More Features!)
39The Xbox Wireless Adapter allows you to connect Xbox controllers with extremely low latency. Unfortunately, the Steam Deck doesn't support this device. Bluetooth and wired work - but both have issues that are solved by the wireless adapter (like rear paddles on Elite controllers and rumble).
Warning: This unlocks your file system, installs a ton of dependencies and other stuff. I assume no responsibility :)
This will likely stop working in the future - however, I offer you a potential work around during the video should it fail later.
The commands needed are here: (YT butchers them)
