Written by Michael Larabel in Hardware on 24 May 2024 at 06:17 AM EDT. Add A Comment

Following the HID changes last week that brought Steam Deck IMU and ASUS ROG Ally support along with other Human Interface Device additions, on Thursday the input subsystem updates were submitted for this new kernel. The Machenike G5 Pro gaming controller is now supported along with other input additions.

The Machenike G5 Pro is a wired and Bluetooth gamepad controller that retails for around $60 USD. With Linux 6.10 this Machenike G5 Pro Controller is supported by way of the common XPad driver.

There are also various bug fixes and other input subsystem work as outlined in this pull request.
