[solved] Getting xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim with xboxdrv

I am trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim. I installed xboxdrv from AUR and I can get it running with no problems. I have xinput installed in the prefix via winetricks. I've blacklisted xpad kernel module and have xboxdrv running as a systemd service. Xbox controller support is turned on in the game's options.

The issue I'm having is that the controller will still only operate with certain games, which are the games that can use it with the regular xpad kernel module.

Here's some details about the set-up:

√ systemd service:

[Unit]
Description = xboxdrv

[Service]
User = root
Type = simple
ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/conf.d/xboxdrv

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

√ xboxdrv config:

[xboxdrv]
silent = true
mimic-xpad = true
#force-feedback = true
chatpad = true
led = 2

[xboxdrv-daemon]
detach = true
dbus = disabled

√ xinput winetrick is installed:

Anyone see anything wrong with my setup?

Yes, it did help. Thank you!

Using x360ce works very well. I don't have to use xboxdrv, either. The default xpad kernel module works fine with it.
