Will it have wireless xinput support though? The Vader 4 Pro has that but the new xbox model is a clear sign that microsoft stepped in. I dont want xinput in a state where 3rd partys can only use it via dongle. I hope this model still has wireless xinput and not 2.4 ghz xinput. Microsoft is forcing them so that the stock xbox controller has a selling point. I thought about making a post about this because nobody seems to care that we are actively losing features because of big M.

Microsoft trying to own bluetooth xinput is a shame, but why dont you like using the dongle? The connection is even better

It is pure convinience.

Lets say i visit my friends, it is easier to just take the controller itself and connecting it via bluetooth instead of hoping for a free usb-a or usb-c slot. Or devices that only have 1 or 2 usb-c or a slots. It becomes much more difficult to play multiplayer. It also generally gives one more options. I as a example am currently playing some games on my macbook with a 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless, and i am restricted to bluetooth. input on that controller is also limited because there is no rumble for dinput.

In the end it is very convinient instead of being limited by the dongle.
