But they clearly have Bluetooth hardware in them, which was the commenter's point, I believe.



So does your phone and somehow still doesn't behave as a controller when paired with a PC. Someone needs to write that.


The bluetooth was used for initial pairing with a phone or Chromecast.


And it couldn't be used for anything else because it was locked down.


They could always be used as standard USB game controllers. They just couldn't be used as Bluetooth game controllers.


Saying it was locked down implies the functionality was present but disabled. Use as a bluetooth controller was not implemented. Now it is.
