I use a PS5 controller, it's 2024, this stuff should just work now. I shouldn't have to experiment with different combinations of ds4windows, hidhide, launching through Steam and quitting Steam from running altogether just to get it to work. Cyberpunk manages just fine, so why do I have to jump through a million hoops for literally everything else? While I'm complaining, Steam is only marginally better at this.

The wireless xbox one controllers are just as good, and you can connect them to your PC with a micro USB cable

IIRC the initial run of Xbone controllers didn't even have Bluetooth but used some proprietary signal like the 360 controllers. Oh, Microsoft

The Xbox One and the new Xbox controllers look nice, but I ended up going with a DS4 for my replacement for the extra features despite much preferring the Xbox layout and ergonomics.

I had a friend whose Xbox One controller died after a couple of years and they had to get a Series whatever replacement recently. On top of the half a dozen wired 360 controllers I went through a similar amount of wireless ones during the lifespan of my 360 since different buttons just broke. Definitely had some bad experiences with longevity on Xbox controllers

Lol I have the opposite complaint, I scored one of the 360 dongles for free back in the day and my mobo doesn't have bluetooth.

You can get a bluetooth usb radio. They work perfectly fine as long as your USB bus isn't being used by a bunch of other things at the same time.
