[Controller Request]: Xbox One Wireless Controller (Updated with New Firmware)

[KsAmJ]

Controller Name

Xbox One Wireless Controller

Current Controller Behaviour

Controller is not successful in pairing with the console

Additional Details

I am on Xbox Insider program and Microsoft started to rollout updates to Xbox One Controllers with new Firmware version 5.11.3116.0 which supporting Bluetooth LE as on the time of writing it is even not working with Windows 10 ... so i wanted to open an issue as this different controller than Series X/S controllers to state the issue.

Even the Xbox Accessories Windows App doesn't recognize the controller at all.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected about the new firmware update regarding Bluetooth LE. I tried to warn about this in the release notes for 0.6.0, so I hope you didn't get burned by the update because you missed my notice.

Support will be added when I have LE connections working. Unfortunately this may take a while due to the amount of work required.

Hello, Is it possible to downgrade the control firmware from pc?

[Masamune3210]

I would imagine probably not, most things wont accept a downgrade unless you manually flash the firmware by flashing the chip itself with a hardware programmer

Same here. Updated to LE.

LE is the future. Will be nice to get an update.

No need to chime in with "same here" type comments. I am well aware of the issue and have been trying to warn people against updating.

BLE support is being worked on but it is far from trivial, as there is no existing application-layer code to leverage and the inner workings of Nintendo's LE stack are not fully understood.

Uh There's not a way to do this without an Xbox console. You should re-open this until they actually inplement Bluetooth LE support.
