Answers.Text: Does the job. Just sad it is not directly supported by Lego in PoweredUp so we could also use all the programming features available. Nice App though.

Comments.Text: It says I have to edit the question to highlight the difference between the associated question and mine but quite honestly, I can't see how I could achieve that since the actual question never mentions Control+ and explicitely mention it is about an XBox controller. I'll try something...

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-06-12)
  
  I have a couple of PoweredUp kits that I tweaked in the app but now, I would like to get more control on them using a physical remote.
  
  I own an Xbox One Bluetooth controller and I thought I saw some people using them with Lego but I see nothing in the available blocks.
  
  Did I miss something? Is it only available with Mindstorms 51515 or did I dreamt all that?
