Xbox One wired controller no longer working

catmagi

My wired xbox one controllers aren't working correctly on Solus (both the budgie and the kde editions have been tested) after working for over a year. It has the x and y buttons reversed and the bottom triggers aren't working in game as well. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Linux steam integration is currently disabled for me because if it's on the controllers aren't picked up at all by steam.

Can provide more information as needed, the controllers also appear to be working when I test them on https://gamepad-tester.com/ and they worked correctly through a usb adapter on android.

Try installing xboxdrv.
While I don't have an xbox/one controller, I have an Dualshock3 and buttons were wrong all over the place, except when the game uses SDL for managing controllers.
With xboxdrv installed, most games now works out of the box, but some old unity games don't recognize it over bluetooth, but wired it works like a charm. 🙂

I already had xboxdrv installed and reinstalling it did not solve my issue but thank you for responding

catmagi Well, you can configure xboxdvr to change button settings and mimic an xbox/360 controller, this should be a workaround, ArchWiki can help you.

After a little research, I've found that xbox one controllers has proprietary techwizwaz from microsoft to work properly, and not yet an official support with the linux kernel, but there is an driver, not yet included on Solus, this one Xpad if it works you can request it to be included on Solus repositories. Good luck!
