New XAC/XBox/PC compatible thumbstick available from XBox

[QuadStick]

I just got an email announcing this joystick accessory for the XAC or direct to the XBox/PC:

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-joystick

I've ordered one and will check it out.

I just got one today and tested. Quadstick seems to recognize it but the controls are a little buggy and does not seem to recognize input correctly and will autoactivate different controls. It does recognize inputs, so maybe with software adjustment it could work?

Mine arrived, too.  It does "connect" but the decoding of the data is not correct.  It is pretty random.  It will need a custom driver, which I think I can do.   The main thing I was concerned about was if it would even respond at all and it is doing that.

Most of the devices that plug into the USB-A port need their own driver.  

Time for a new firmware build.

Go check the QMP firmware tab.  Build 2373 has support for the XAJ, XAJoy, XAdapJoy,...  (we need to come up with a pithy name for it)

Here's a test config:  USB Host XBox Adaptive Joystick tester

Amazing, thanks Fred!
