Key points

Controllers can be used wired (via USB-C) or wirelessly with Bluetooth.
The support for supplementary features like the internal speaker, headphone jack, gyroscope, lightbar, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback varies between models, type of connection, and games/software.
Supported natively in some games (see support in games).
Capable of making full use of Steam Input due to many overlapping features with the Steam Controller.
Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper in games that don't support it.
