I have an XBox Wireless Controller, model #1914, and am running Ubuntu 24.04. I can get the controller to connect over bluetooth but it doesn't show up as a joystick in jstest, evtest or steam. It doesn't show up at all as a usb device in lsusb when plugged in. I've tired installing xpadneo but that didn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?

Have you upgraded the firmware on the controller? I had basically the same problem and I needed to update the firmware.

this right here. it's dumb as fuck, but has resolved 100% of my issues.

good luck getting it updated though, I had to use a windows VM and pass the USB through.
