[FIXED] Xbox compatible controller has its layout messed up (Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro)
ISSUE
My Xbox compatible controller (Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro) has the layout messed up when in wireless mode.

OS
Fedora 37
PoP! OS 22.04

STEPS
Run Steam.
Turn on the controller and make sure it's set in Xbox Xinput mode.
Goto Steam-Settings-Controller and in "Test Device Inputs" select "Begin Test".
Start pressing buttons.

RESULTS
The controller has the layout completely messed up, with the exception of the two analog sticks and the triggers. For example, when I press the X button, no input is registered; if I press the Y button, X button press is registered; when pressing select, left bumper button press is registered; when pressing start, right bumper button press is registered. This is reflected on every game, and it fixes only by plugging the controller with a cable.

EXPECTED
Button presses should reflect the Xbox Xinput standardized layout.

NOTES
This bug was introduced within the last month, I have tried the controller on several Steam versions from June 15th, up to the latest beta (1688632274, July 6th). Previously, the controller layout was fine. The issue seems exclusive to Linux, I have tried two different distros on completely different computers (my desktop computer and my laptop). On Windows, the controller works as expected.

Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro is a premium controller featuring hall effect sensors instead of the traditional potentiometers on both analog sticks, in order to prevent drifting.
