I like that it has mic, I’d like wireless but if third party controllers won’t work with Xbox Controller Connector it doesn’t matter as much.

I think I’ll have to try that out.

Because if it’s just local, you can configure the static IP directly on the server/VM/whatever and bypass the router’s DHCP entirely. Just make sure to assign it an IP that’s outside of the range the router will assign and you’ll be golden.

I had no idea I could do that but totally makes sense, thanks!
