Xbox 360 wireless controller working ?

Hi Supaaman, you do have the "Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows" right? The procedure is the same as using it on windows, except you don't need to install any software. Just plug, connect, and play. also be aware that there is a lot of fake mock up receiver on the market, make sure you get a real one.

This is exactly what I did and I try reinstalling Recalbox but same issue. I bough my Wireless gaming receiver several years ago and it worked, I tried on my Macbook Air and no issue.

P/N X809782-008, PID 84294-523-5147585-00738 Is this the serial you're looking for? Thanks for your help

@Supaaman: I do have exactly the same dongle. I've just verified. The dongle is recognized correctly. You can verify when you plug in the dongle and execute dmesg from commandline. You should get something simmilar to this:

The controller is alwas flashing on the XBOX buton, even after pressing the sync buttons on both sides. You can try to configure the controller via emulationstation, and press the A butten and you should see that emulationstation does recognize your controler. There is an issue with the HOTKEY assignmend in emulationstation.

@Supaaman: a short update, there is a lot going on about the xbox driver implementation, be patient

[supaaman]

I'm glad to hear it, I'm a noob but I try to understand.

I saw the 3.2.7 version and tried it, everything works perfectly but I notice an issue for me: I don't have any USB keyboard (only mouse) so I cannot enter the information for my Wifi network. Is there a way to add a virtual keyboard usable by the Xbox 360 controller? Perhaps I ask to much but It will be great Thanks a lot for all the time you spend on this project!
