[00:39:40] <exec> 08└─Better than that, moving to a Xbox 360 controller is effectively as equivalent to moving to any generic USB HID device. In case of supply issues, they will have to remap new controller buttons, and probably need a new wireless receiver, but Microsoft didn't reinvent the wheel on this one.
