This script requires Python3 and pyusb to be installed.
The Controller presents several interfaces to the system in order to detect the system and expects the system reply with a certain sequence. This script detects the controller and writes the sequence to the controller in order to make the xbox mode to work. This script also enables vibration/rumble on the controllers which support vibration on only xbox mode.
The script has been tested on the following controllers.
