xboxdrv: Open Source Driver for Xbox Gamepads and Controllers

xboxdrv is an open source driver for Xbox gamepads and controllers. It allows using Xbox controllers as input devices on Linux, and provides additional customization and configuration options compared to the default Linux drivers.

What is Xboxdrv?

xboxdrv is an open source driver and userspace daemon for Xbox gamepads and controllers. It works by reading input data directly from the controller via USB or wireless connection, translating it into Linux input events, and feeding the events into the Linux input subsystem.

Some key features of xboxdrv include:

• Supports all Xbox controller models - original, 360, One, Elite, Adaptive Controller, etc.
• Additional mapping and tweaking options compared to default Linux drivers
• Can emulate an Xbox 360 controller when using other gamepads
• Allows using multiple controllers and combining them into a single virtual device
• Enables rumble/force feedback on supported devices
• Configuration via command line arguments or config file for advanced setups
• Can work in conjunction with other drivers by taking exclusive control of the device

xboxdrv provides a flexible and customizable way of getting Xbox gamepads working on Linux for gaming or other applications. As an open source project, it can adapt to support new controllers as they are released over time.
