Specifically Arch. I found a GitHub page for xbox360wirelesschatpad but the installation instructions are for Windows. I know LibUSB is available but the vjoy driver doesn't seem to be. I feel like there's probably some comparable package.
There might also be an alternative way to do this all together. There seem to be a few methods of doing this on Windows using third party applications.
I am mostly doing this for the novelty of it but I feel like it could be useful for navigating my PC from my couch or responding to messages through Steam.
It seems like this whole process is pretty plug and play with the Xbox One controller and it's chatpad but that's not what I am after.
I found steam controller is the pinnacle for remote controlling a PC/TV. Typing with the dual touchpads once you get used to it is amazingly fast and easy
They're hard to get nowadays though
Luckily, I have three of them ๐คฃ
I'll try picking it up again, I do absolutely love the touch pad + trigger to click - I just never got very far with typing.
You can also click the touchpads to select the keys
