Subject: [PATCH for-next] Input: xpad - add support for Flydigi Direwolf 4 paddles
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 00:36:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903190639.344878-1-itshanibee@gmail.com> (raw)
The Flydigi Direwolf 4 clones Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller (045e:028e),
identifies itself via its USB product string, and reports two rear paddles
(M1 and M2) in byte 19 of its input reports.
Add a probe quirk to detect the controller by string descriptor, expose its
true vendor and product IDs (0x37d7:0x2414) for userspace recognition, and
decode rear paddles in xpad360_process_packet().
