A Linux kernel driver for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S accessories, implementing Microsoft's Game Input Protocol (GIP) as a modern replacement for the xpad driver. It supports wired and dongle-based wireless controllers, headsets, guitars, drums, and the chatpad, with rumble, battery reporting, LED control, and audio support.
Use cases
- use an Xbox Series X|S controller on Linux
- get rumble and battery reporting for Xbox controllers on Linux
- connect Xbox wireless headset via the Xbox Wireless Dongle on Linux
- use Rock Band 4 guitars and drums on Linux
- replace the xpad driver for Xbox One peripherals
- enable Xbox controller audio playback and capture on Linux
When to choose
- you use Xbox One or Series X|S accessories (controllers, headsets, instruments) on Linux via USB or the wireless dongle
- you need battery reporting, LED control, or audio support that xpad lacks
- you want GIP-protocol compatibility for third-party controllers and headsets
When to avoid
- you connect your controller over Bluetooth (use xpadneo instead)
- you still use Xbox 360 or older Xbox peripherals (use xpad or xpad-noone)
- you need actively developed support - consider the dlundqvist/xone fork, as this project is in maintenance mode
- you use third-party racing wheels, which are unsupported
