Hi! I use a MS Xbox S wireless controller on Ubunut almost every day and it "just works" but your controller seems different.

It might help us to know:

  • How does that controller connect to your PC? (Bluetooth? USB cable?)
  • Which Linux distribution are you running and what version is it?

Also, does this help at all?

xone is a Linux kernel driver for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S accessories. It serves as a modern replacement for xpad, aiming to be compatible with Microsoft's Game Input Protocol (GIP).

Is there a firmware update for the controller when using the Xbox accessory App on windows?
