I'll keep myself assigned because mixxx helped pay for the controller I'm using to do the testing and work

@acolombier can you write an update here about what we have included now, and what is left to do? I believe the big issue right now is the controller data sharing which needs design work. (I am so happy with how quickly this is coming together, I assumed screen support would be a year of work!)

Yes, that's correct. I think we are waiting for a formal design proposal on how to make that doable with the current engine, without closing any doors for the future of controllers.

As it stands, if you merge both branches from #12199 and #12557, everything appears to be working just fine.

Technically, I've been working on that feature since march 2023, but I know what you mean. I'm also glad we managed to get that fat PR out of the way in a fairly short time.
