Had to install this app which then made me sign in (using my work PC) to update the firmware on my damn controller. Wish there was a way to do this in Linux. I’m so over Microsoft’s crap.
If you keep hitting cancel, it’ll eventually error out and let you access the firmware update page.

Why does a game controller need updates??? I’m stuck on PS3 knowledge, someome help me out here.

Well, I can tell you trying to use the Xbox controllers I have on Linux, with Bluetooth was a nightmare until their firmware was updated.

Absolute pain in the ass. Had to spin up a Win10 VM to get my controllers working.

You can avoid that by not using MS controllers in Linux, or using old controllers with a cable. My Retropie has xbox 360 controller support compiled in and every controller works OOB.

Its called surveillance capitalism.
Microsoft is first and foremost a company that aims to profit on the data it can gather.

Well, in the case of the Dualsense on PS5, they’ve made changes to improve things like haptic feedback, controller volume output from the speaker, better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that) and if you have the latest PS5 models (pro or non-pro), you now have adaptive charging.

I wish I had a way to permanently disable that mic. Why the fuck is that even there? Do console players use these?! All it does is yank priority from my actual mic if I plug it in to charge.

Lots of things, just like any hardware issues can happen and some of those can be fixed with software. Also new features, I have a Gulikit KK3 which has gotten a lot of new features and improvements since I received it (won it in a giveaway).
