I've bought one that looks just like that (apart from the logo) Linux registers it, and it shows with lsusb - but apart from that it does f.. all. I ended up smashing it open just to verify it actually had any kind of circuit inside.

Granted that's a sample size of 1 - all I'm saying is find out the return policy before you buy ;) It's no fun realizing that return postage (which you must pay your self) exceeds the price of the item.

I'm using a Zettagaurd wireless receiver for xbox 360 controllers. I purchased it from Amazon in 2015 for 9 dollars. It is currently unavailable on amazon, but I would think something similar would work. if you can find the zettagaurd from another site I would recommend it.

Thanks for the info. Ordered one on amazon so ill be able to return it easy enough. Searching through the comments i found two people who did state it worked with linux with 'xboxdrv' userspace driver.

After some tinkering with it, i found that it was useless. Only seemed to be able to stay connected for a minute or 2tops before dropping the connection and having to reconnect to the receiver again. Buying an official Microsoft one off craigslist.
