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?

It sounds like a firmware bug. Do any other devices have issues?
