Posted: Fri May 06, 2022 3:15 pm
I would like to use my keyboard and mouse on the series x console.
Looking at the topic

I need an xbox one controller, but it has to be a specific model and also have a specific firmware version.
In the above thread it says that a 1537 model xbox one controller with a firmware version 2.3.2381.0 is supported, and looking at this thread

that he bought a 1537 model with a really old firmware that didn't work with GIMX, so he updated it and got a firmware version 2.3.2381.0. which does work with GIMX.
What I would like to know is,
is it possible to get a second hand 1537 model that has a firmware version higher than 2.3.2381.0. which will potentially not work with GIMX?
Or if i end up with an old firmware controller, is it possible that updating it now could possible deliver me a higher firmware version than the supported one, or does the firmware max out at the 2.3.2381.0. version since it is an old 1537 model controller ?
The same question goes for the 1697 model one since i did see a few of those around a couple of local sites.
I'm asking this because i want to use mouse and keyboard on series X and found this second hand controller

It has the different plastic around the Xbox button indicating that it has no bluetooth and also the second image says it's a 1537 model, but the only thing worrying me is the firmware.
Any insight is appreciated,
Thanks
