    Hi. gonna receive my m11x hopefully on wednesday, and on my desktop i have an external bluetooth adapter that is compatible with the dual shock 3 controller (with hacked drivers). i would prefer to use that controller on this laptop, because while the xbox one is fine, i can't be had with a thick cable sticking out from the side, or a needlessly long adapter with the wireless one. has anyone tried the modded drivers with their bluetooth enabled m11x? thanks in advance

    The link to the dual shock 3 drivers

    it'd be useful, because there'd be no wires or needless adapters, a freed up usb port (comming from a mac, this is very important to me) and the corners of my bluetooth adapter are really very sharp...

    ps: i tried the drivers in windows 7 32 bit on a bootcamped white book, with the built in bluetooth. they didn't work, unless i used the adapter.

    pps: if you happen to try the drivers, be warned as regular functionality of the bluetooth (send and receive) will be disabled.

    I assume you're talking about MotionJoy?

    Tried it on mine, doesn't work with the Bluetooth.

    The Bluetooth in the M11x seems to be utterly useless. Doesn't even support A2DP.

    bummer. ah well, it would have been all the bluetooth would have been used for if it worked.
