I recently got a "Cosmic Byte Blitz", a wired/wireless gamepad from a regional brand. Games have strange and inconsistent problems when I use the controller, such as the face buttons not working after the right stick is used, or the right trigger being interpreted as the up-down axis of the left analog stick. These issues only show up in games, I can't replicate them in jstest.
The third (bottom-left) light on the controller is lit up, which according to the manual means that the controller is operating in "Android" mode, as opposed to "X-Input" or "D-Input" mode. There doesn't seem to be a way to force the controller into a certain mode manually. When plugged in and used wired, lsusb says:

These udev rules didn't work, with or without the first line:

I'm still looking around for information, but I'm not sure what to do. Help would be appreciated.

Well, I made some progress -- adding usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 to kernel parameters clears up the dmesg errors and makes the controller display as a Switch controller.

Blacklisting hid_nintendo and unbinding the controller from hid_generic with udev causes it to reconnect as an unnamed "Gamepad", which produced extremely buggy results in the games I tested.
