clicking through that link, it obviously blocks my zen browser, and recommends google's chrome, chromium, ms edge and opera.
this seems like a massive L still. hopefully it's not hard-coded to require those 4 only, and a stripped down chromium browser can be used. I don't have a race in this horse yet, becauseI did consider 8bitdo controllers once my gamesir controller dies. maybe I'll just have to save up for a steam controller, even though Valve still doesn't ship to my country, and I refuse to buy from scalpers. even legit businesses here are scalping hard... fucking scalpers.
my first draft comment to you was a bit hopeful that maybe stripped down chromium browsers can replace your singular use windows VM. I apologize for assuming
As for the Steam Controller, I have purchased it and want to warn you about something. The controller is designed to work only as a controller, when Steam is running. Which is a deal breaker to use it outside Steam for me, because I don't want to have it running in the background when not playing on Steam. So I end up using it in Steam only. There are third party efforts for drivers to make it usable without Steam, but they have all their own quirks. However the SDL 3 library now supports Steam Controller. So any application updating to SDL 3 comes with free Steam Controller native support, in example RetroArch.
Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. I've read that somewhere about the Steam controller. I'm not in a rush to buy a new controller, as mine is still working and the availability still sucks here.
Firefox and forks have supported webusb for awhile now, so I think 8bitdo just needs to update their website.
I guess someone needs to try with up-to-date Firefox and a spoofed Chrome user agent string
