8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless - Update firmware?

Hey all, just got the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless 2 and just wondering how I can update the firmware? I had a look around and not sure if the updater works under wine, I had a go but didn't seem to recognise that it was plugged in.

Any advice? I primarily got this to use with my desktop and Steam Deck - maybe the Deck can update the firmware?

Edit: had to use a windows VM, pass-through the USB, then update that way. Gyro and all the buttons are recognised on the Steam Deck.

Your best bet is probably a Windows VM and their official software: https://app.8bitdo.com/Ultimate-Software-V2/
- I'll give that a go, cheers
  
  Edit: that worked
Try the phone app?
- Does that work to update the firmware? Not mentioned on the android store
  
  It does not, sorry.
  
  I was gonna say fwupd thing, but that doesn't see my joystick at all.
