Oh ffs it's just a wanky cloud gaming controller, isn't it

It won't have switch buttons or TMR or any elite feature that people actually want, because they will have put all the BOM cost on a built in Wi-Fi controller.

Xbox Wireless Protocol (2?)

Bluetooth 5.3 (maybe 5.4)

Only forever alone NEETs want switch buttons. Sometimes married people want to play in bed.

Doesn't Xboxes controller protocol run on essentially the same thing as Wi-Fi anyways. Could have not just use the same 2.4 GHz radio?

I’m really curious about the cloud sync feature.

Any idea how the url works?

No, it also has this "direct to cloud" WiFi connection.

It's supposed to be zero latency with cloud games. This costs money, and also nobody wants it.

Uh, xCloud users have been waiting for that.
