Do you use it on Linux? I recently got a Vader 4, it works wireless on xbox mode (using the xpad linux module), but I was hopping to make use of the gyro (hopefully without losing the analog triggers), and it seems that the dinput mode (which does allow some gyro action + analog triggers and working extra buttons) does not really work with the wireless dongle for me (it works if I plug it via cable, but that’s also not optimal since it disconnects mid play sometimes for some reason).

Bluetooth works great in Android for me though… once the devices have been paired, they connect the moment they are available and it just works.

However, for some reason on PC it’s often quirky (Windows or Linux). My PC bluetooth works through a dongle so I wonder if an integrated card would do better.

Also, most devices will not keep more than 1 pairing, so it will be annoying if you plan to be jumping around between computers. But that’s not the fault of the protocol, in theory remembering multiple pairings can be supported if the devices wanted to implement that.

They didn’t have the right frame of reference.

lol… it does make it sound like they are trying to hide things from him, but I don’t think that’s the intention… it probably means “before the branch with the breakage has to be reviewed / tested / checked by the main person merging branches from each subsystem into mainline (Linus)”
