feat: support Xbox Elite Series 2 over wired USB - #67
Merged
Conversation
The Elite Series 2 (045e:0b00) speaks the same 18-byte GIP input frame over USB as the already-supported Xbox One S (045e:02ea), but its PID was not in XBOX_GIP_PIDS, so it fell through to the generic driver and produced no input events at all. Adding the PID is sufficient — parseXboxGipReport needed no changes. Verified against a live pad: doctor reports 17/17 buttons and full range on all six axes.

What
Adds the Xbox Elite Series 2 (
045e:0b00) toXBOX_GIP_PIDS.The pad emits the same 18-byte GIP input frame over wired USB as the already-supported Xbox One S (
045e:02ea), but because its PID was unlisted it fell through to thegenericdriver and produced no input events at all —doctordetected the device, then every button and axis read zero.parseXboxGipReportneeded no changes. The one-line PID addition is the entire fix.Verified on physical hardware
Confirmed on a real Elite Series 2, wired over USB-C, macOS 26 (Darwin 25.5), Node 24:
