[PATCH 10/12] HID: asus: add support for gamepad mode

From: Denis Benato <denis.benato@linux.dev>
Date: 2026-08-13 14:47:49
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hid core layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds

ROG Ally devices can emulate either a mouse+keyboard (desktop mode)
or an gamepad device (xbox360 controller in ROG ally and a custom
DInput device on newer models): add support for switching the current
controller mode.
