Controllers

I have been using DS4 controllers and an XBox controller so they should both work just fine. On the XBox controller the [XBox Logo] button maps to the (PS) button, which is handy.

The touchpad on the DS4 seems to be working fine. Also the Bluetooth functionality works well on the ds4 controller. Just use the standard Raspberry default bluetooth manager that is docked in the top right on the Task Bar. This adds a little extra latency over using the controller over USB but not a huge amount.

Be aware that sometimes you'll get a error message from 'bluez' saying that bluetooth connection failed. Often that is not the case at all and it's actually fine. If you get that just check the BT dock for your controllers status.

I tried a separate bluetooth drive for the ds4 too, the ds4drv, but that was much slower then the default built in functionality so I would not recommend doing that.

I have not tested Bluetooth for the xbox controller.
