MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xboxdrv-sl6566bk [2]:

I think this modded xboxdrv should be deleted.

It just hacks the (8 year old) xboxdrv source with a hard-coded hex
value, replacing a dynamic query.

The purpose was to make it work with the xbox controller clone
Speedlink SL-6566-BK. I think it now works only with that device.

Seems like the patch creator didn't bother looking up how to enter
additional supported device hwids instead of dumbing down the logic of
the code.

The Speedlink SL-6566-BK controller was first marketed in 2013 and is
long discontinued.

The xboxdrv project has not created new tagged releases since 8 years,
but there are many new commits. This package has not been kept up-to-
date with any updates since 2018.
