Description kchapin 2026-01-08 20:08:59 UTC

I'll preface that this is my first bug file and was suggested that I do so in this Fedora Discussion: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/kernel-6-17-4-200-xbox-360-wireless-controller-d-pad-problem/170121.

Please be gentle. :)


Description of problem:
Since kernel 6.17.4-200 the directional pad on Xbox 360 Wireless Controller is incorrectly mapped:

    UP: button 14, physical LEFT button
    DOWN: button 15, physical RIGHT button
    LEFT: button 12, physical UP button
    RIGHT: button 13, Physical DOWN button

Using kernel 6.16.12-200, the directional pad works as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Directional pad behavior can be inspected using KDE > System Settings > Game Controller.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect Xbox 360 Wireless Controller receiver
2. Power on gamepad
3. Attempt to use directional pad

Actual results:
UP: button 14, physical LEFT button
DOWN: button 15, physical RIGHT button
LEFT: button 12, physical UP button
RIGHT: button 13, physical DOWN button

Expected results:
UP: button 12, physical UP button
DOWN: button 13, physical DOWN button
LEFT: button 14, physical LEFT button
RIGHT: button 15, physical RIGHT button

Do I need to adjust something?

Comment 3 kchapin 2026-02-10 23:23:37 UTC

Apologies. I followed the logic to the other report and am happy to provide feedback that the behavior is resolved after installing the patch noted in the other bug report.

If I cannot resolve this report then please do whatever necessary to close/resolve.

Thank you!
