Linux XBox 360 Wireless Controller

[Der Erloeser]

Is there any way to get the XBox 360 Wireless Controller working under Linux? When I start the game it detects the first click to get into the menu but does not accept any further input. The settings only allows to switch between "None" and "Unknown controller".

I finished the game with M/K but thanks for your help anyway!

The links are for mac users. On my system the controller is also not working. Linux Mint 18. Unknown controller is found but cannot interact.

Try using the userspace xboxdrv driver. The default kernel one is fairly reliable, but i dont know how it fares with wireless controllers.

Having exactly the same problem in the Demo here, with a wired Logitech controller on Ubuntu 18.04. What do I need to do to get this working?

Xbox 360 wireless controller works perfectly when using xboxdrv --mimic-xpad for me. I'm in Xubuntu 18.04.

I logged in specifically to give my thanks to @upsilon[LINUX] #L2G. I was going in circles searching around the solution and yours worked!

To sum up, in order to use Xbox 360 Controller in Shadow Tactics on Ubuntu 18.04:

1 install xboxdrv
2 run in terminal as root xboxdrv --mimic-xpad --detach-kernel-driver
3 run steam, enter Shadow Tactics
4 make sure your controller is enabled in Gameplay setting
5 profit

If you don't want to run this command as root, you have to add

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0719", MODE="660", GROUP="yourgroup"

to /etc/udev/rules.d/90-usbpermission.rules (create it if it doesn't exist). Replace yourgroup, 0719 and 045e with your attributes (you will see them when you run xboxdrv in terminal.

Happy Linux Gaming!

In my case:
- Ubuntu 18.10 (64 Bit)
- Kernel-Version: 4.20.3-042003-generic
- Logitech F710 (Xbox)

Controller in XInput Mode:
- Everything works fine (even the Rumble) except the Right Trigger, which is NOT detected (is detected out of the game)

Controller in DirectInput Mode:
The Right Trigger is correctly detected.

If anyone still has the problem - just download the Windows version by forcing the "Proton Experimental" compatibility and everything works out of the box.

Sortafreel, if you were saying this with a docked steam deck in mind, i still have no luck. none of the proton compatiabilities work... any other pointers?

Ubuntu, wireless (BT) Xbox Controller.
Same problem. Didnt try anything yet, since it works flawless in most other games.

in steam game options go to controller and force enable steam input, so x360 controller is set to forcefuli on, this solves issue for me
