Driver Xbox Controller

I've got this controller ("www.bestbuy.com/site/power-a-spectra-controller-for-xbox-one-black/8685189.p?skuId=8685189") that I'm trying to get to work on Ubuntu, but its causing immense trouble. This is largely due to my inexperience with Linux.
This forum mentioned that I need to install a patch to xpad.c to make my controller work. Advice was given on how to patch a document as a response to that guy's question. However, in this command, I need to save the patch in the same place where xpad.c is apparently saved. This leads to my questions:
Update: I'm using Ubuntu version 16.04. I've tried options of installing xpad-v0.4 and the steamos version. I've noted with both that the program jstest-gtk recognizes the controller, even the brand (PowerA Spectra), but the controller simply continues to flash its LED light, and it remains unresponsive when I try to input controls.
Add your entry to the list, adding the first and second part of your controller's device ID to the first and second code in the entry. Mind that each entry is comma-separated, and the last entry has no comma after it.
So I know this is an old question but xboxdrv doesn't require you to recompile to get a xbox controller clone to work. In most situations it just takes a bit of trial and error with CLI options.Recommended reading (seriously whom ever wrote this how to is a god) -Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/
Press 'Enter' and your device should be listed here by name. In the event that you see multiple entries, look for the listing containing "event" in the title. If you find that your controller is not listed by name, you can substitute the event number when it comes time.
I have a Microsoft XBOX 360 gamepad with the wireless adapter and I was wondering what I would have to install to use them with Ubuntu I do know that when using this on Windows I have to manually install the drivers for the wireless receiver (if that is relevant.)
If you find difficulties running your XBOX 360 controller, then this will help you install it on a computer running Ubuntu, and also show you how to configure it. These instructions are workable for both wired or wireless X-Box 360 controllers.
and done you just installed Xbox driver and you're all ready to use your Xbox 360 controller :D. I guess when everyone says the controller is a Plug&Play and it does not then you have to install the necessary drivers to use it.
This is an update to existing answers for a way to get an XBox360 controller working in Wine >= 1.7, including Steam games in Wine on Ubuntu >= 13.10. No root permissions needed for installation and operation.
Note that unfortunately, there isn't a 12.04 package for xboxdrv-stable. You may consider contacting contacting the package maintainer, assuming you have a Launchpad.net account. Still, try using the software that needs the driver.
Just as an unrelated side note, the error you were seeing with your makefile was due to the fact that makefiles use tabs for indentation and likely when the file was copied those tabs were changed to spaces.
You don't need to install anything, the kernel has a build in driver. Just plug the wireless adapter into USB and sync the controller. xboxdrv is only needed if you want additional configuration options, button remapping, mouse emulation, etc.
That's old stuff. It should work as soon as you plug it in, if the game is compatible. I think if the game expects an xbox controller (i.e not a generic one) in Wine then it's not likely to work. Native games should work. It's listed as a project for Google Summer of Code so it's on the agenda.
I'm running Linux kernel version 4.0.0 and needed to install nothing and configure absolutely nothing to play games with my XBOX 360 controllers. Even linux-native couch co-op games that require more than one controller like "lovers in a dangerous spacetime" or "trine" worked out of the box. Just plugging in the two controllers and done.
In my device manager I am missing the driver for the Xbox one controller and when I do connect my controller through a micro USB nothing happens (No notifications/sounds, and nothing is prompting for the drive to download) I came here instead of going to microsoft support since they said to come over here and download the drivers from my PC's driver page to see if im missing anything but I have the HP support assistant and it says everything is fine. My controller does turn on but only flashes which indicates it doesn't even know it's connected to the pc. I used two different micro USB's and the 3.0 usb port and 2.0 usb port which to no avail make it download the driver. Any help would be appreciated.
Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver (x64) is a program for the Windows operating system to install the Xbox One controller drivers on your PC. This software allows you to play your favorite games with the Xbox One controller on your computer without any compatibility issues.
If you like playing with a controller because you find it more comfortable or intuitive, you'll definitely want to use an Xbox controller with your PC. As both Xbox and Windows are Microsoft products, they tend to cause few problems and are usually compatible. But if you specifically want to enjoy the Xbox One controller, you should install Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver (x64). The drivers reduce the response time between the controller and the PC, helping you to play much more smoothly.
I couldn't get my wired xbox controller to work at all in windows 7, but after installing these drivers and checking for the unknown update, my pc was able to find them and get my controller to work p...See more

Still new to Arch, but I've been glued to the wiki's regarding troubleshooting. I'm trying to get a Xbox Series S wired USB controller working with either xpad or xboxdrv. Steam identifies the controller as "Xbox One Controller." The controller input is received in configuration. The controller appears recognized, but games do not respond to it at all.
Am I seeing anything kernel or config related here that I need to troubleshoot that might be causing games themselves in Steam to fail to connect the controllers? Or is this probably something Steam related since Steam sees the controller just fine?
The issue was within Steam itself and not system related. To solve, change individual game settings in Steam Input to "forced on" and it was picked up just fine with no mapping errors.
It seems like gamepad controls like the xbox controller get messed with within games running Vorpx. I went into RDR2 today after the hooking fix and it was like a button is continually pressed when nothing is being touched.
Some games do not allow mouse and gamepad to be used at the same time. Since vorpX often has to emulate a mouse for head tracking, it has a built-in gamepad to mouse/kB emulation that can deal with such games. The alternatives in such cases would either be no gamepad or no (mouse emulation) head tracking.
Regular Xbox 360 controllers seem to get picked up by Windows normally and work just fine, the drivers install and there's nothing that I need to configure in Steam or anywhere else, they 'just work'.
However, the 'Afterglow' controller doesn't work for some reason. This is a third-party branded controller but it is a fairly reputable brand. When I plug it in, the 'glow' colour flashes on briefly, but after that nothing happens. It does not appear in the 'Game Controllers' menu:
Right-Clicking and selecting 'Troubleshoot' runs the troubleshooter, which attempts to install the drivers for the device, unfortunately this ultimately fails because no such driver exists for 'Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360':
The problem is that the device is reporting itself as an 'Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360', instead of a regular 'Xbox 360 Controller', meaning that Windows isn't automatically picking up the correct driver. Luckily, we can select it manually.

This is the first driver for the Xbox One Wireless Gamepad (which is shipped with the Xbox One S). I wrote it for astudent project at fortiss GmbH and it is fully functional but does only support the connection via Bluetooth asyet - more will follow.
Thanks to @slouken from SDL2, xpadneo mappings are now auto-detected in the upcomingSDL2 2.28 release. This will fix long-standing problems with Steam Input and SDL2 games. With this release, we willalso have full paddle support.
With BLE firmware, all models switched to a unified HID report descriptor, only the XBE2 controller identifies withPID 0x0B22 while the other models identify with PID 0x0B13. This has some known consequences:
Full support for the Xbox Series XS controller is present including the share button. This is currently staticallymapped to keyboard event KEY_F12 to take screenshots with Steam. It will be configurable in the future. Thiscontroller uses emulated profile switching support (see below).
