Gamepad not working in xinput (as well as in wireless)

So I have 3 controllers

1. Xbox 360 wired: connects as dinput
2. Gamesir Nova Lite: connects wirelessly (dongle) as dinput (shows up as generic android controller) but doesn't work when I change mode to xinput
3. Flydigi Vader 4 Pro: connects wired in dinput but not in xinput mode. Using wireless dongle, it shows up as a dinput device in https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad but inputs don't work. In xinput, doesn't even show up.

As a result rumble doesn't work on any of these controllers either. Some games also don't work with them, although I'm not sure if its the xinput issue or something else. I have been trying to get xinput to work for over an year now but to no success.

All these controllers work perfectly on my Nobara machine so its not a Linux compatibility issue. Its a skill issue.

I have gone through the arch wiki page many times now, tried everything it says as well as countless other things I heard people doing online, as well as many things I have been suggested. At this point, I probably have every known controller related package installed on my machine.


Is there any hope? Is there a scientific way to go about seeing what the issue is instead of people randomly recommending me every package under the sun? Its even more frustrating given it works on my other machine but no one is able to tell me how I can see what modules/drivers its using on that machine.

Not sure what info/logs I should attach here, so let me know what information you think will help debug this issue.
