    Can you do a preview? Like showing how it looks when you turn on the PC and use it?

    While it is wired, I really enjoy the Elgato Stream Deck Plus for my couch setup.
    Its an awesome way to automate PC tasks like joining or leaving discord channels, muting your mic, and easily being able to manage your audio for games, chat, etc.

    Someone has also let me know about a cool new app. Check it out, but I haven't tried it yet! github.com/Merrit/nyrna This app lets you "sleep" your games just like a console would!

    I thought Xbox controllers are natively supported on windows now? What does that Xbox adapter do exactly 🤔

      it is still natively supported on windows. the dongle acts as a bluetooth usb dongle.

      Xbox Controller are natively supported since Xbox One/Series X|S runs a ripped down version of Windows 10/11, The Xbox Adapter just gives the controller and your pc more stability and also the headphone jack without using the controller wired just like a Xbox.

      Xbox controllers use Bluetooth for general device compatibility, but the Xbox (and Windows Xbox Adapter) utilizes a proprietary connection that has less latency, more stability, and audio throughput for the audio jack.

      You can use Bluetooth but it is not very reliable from a distance and has some latency added.

    Does the USB dongle allow the controller to wake from sleep? im using a direct bluetooth connection to the Mobo and i am unable to use the controller to wake the PC. I have had to use a WAL app on phone which is not great. I have used various bluetooth adapters also with the USB config but they havent worked either.

    It wil also help to have a sort of "container" for all major PC gaming stores and launchers (Steam, Epic, Xbox, GOG, etc etc) that could automatically startup in Picture Mode, and from there the user could jump between each launcher flawlessy.
    For example, something similar is available on Legion GO, where Legion Space provides accessibility to all installed games, regardless of which launcher they belong to.

    I don't see explained here how you can actually cold boot a PC using just a controller, in the same way that you normally do with console since two gens ago.
    Is there a way? Any hardware or software requirement?
