8BitDo say Ultimate Software Online is their attempt to make things easier for Linux gamers, no need to download a standalone firmware updater app now.

    Yeah, but a website should make this compatible with all operating systems, not just Linux. BSD should profit from this as well.

      I’d prefer if they’d release it as a flatpak. Making it browser based chains you to chromium browsers, since Firefox decided a while back that exposing USB devices directly to the internet was too much of a security concern. Ran into that issue with my keyboard.

        Firefox already has a website permission system, weird they don’t just let users choose if they think the risk is worth it or not.
