Hi all
Has anyone actually tried to use that controller on a fresh or older
OpenBSD? If yes: successful?

Sorry, wireless won't work without a Bluetooth implementation.
Ahh, now that I read it, I think I remember something like that. Bad
luck, I'd say ..
Here on linux I use that wireless controller as some sort of remote
control: I navigate with it mpv, the movie player, to watch movies,
youtube etc.: basically selected keys of one's choice are mapped to
this controller - the buttons, bumpers, sticks etc. on it thus
becoming technically something like keys on a keyboard, with, AFAICS,
effectively the same functionality to the corresponding keys on a
keyboard.
That is, with controller buttons mapped like this, one can
e.g. switch on/off subtitles for a video, turn the view upside down,
or on one of its sides. Switch, choose available languages. Fast or
slow backward the movie etc. etc.. and all this from a comfortable
place on a sofa, chair: I think once someone felt the convenience of
using that device like this, they'll never again go back navigating a
movie with their keyboard ... :)
Hoping I was able to wet someone's mouth with this short description
.. :)
I didn't write the driver: I simply took some configs and adapted
them to my needs.

Thanks, at any rate!
