Show battery status when controller is connected via USB

[MrPropre]

I can read battery status when controller is connected via bluetooth, but not when it is connected via the USB-C cable. I have an Xbox Series X controller

Thank you in advance

This program was made to read the battery status that is included in the bluetooth LE protocol by default, so it doesn't work with USB. If it is also standardized for USB it might be possible to add that feature in the future but I am not sure if it is.

Maybe for the moment you can show a charging icon when the controller is plugged via USB ? Just like the Xbox Accessories app do

I looked more into this. In theory it might be possible to read the battery level over USB. The problem is that only one program can control the gamepad. So if I read the battery level the game can't use the gamepad. That is likely also the reason why the xbox app only shows that it is connected.
But I have figured out how to check if a USB device is a gamepad. So I will be adding support for that soon so it at least shows a charging icon.
