Xbox One controller - One button doesn't work

Hi everyone,

this is weird. Basically I'm connecting the Xbox Controller via bluetooth and the devices is apparently registered correctly.
Indeed it appears a device at /dev/input/js0. Testing it with

jstest /dev/input/js0

reveals that the device has been properly detected, every button is working etc.

But testing the device with https://html5gamepad.com/ shows that:
- X is not working
- RB is not working
- neither L (button) or R (button) are working

This behavior is the same in the videogames I try to play: these button presses are not being registered for some reason.

The controller is seen as "Xbox Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 045e Product: 02fd)" by the browser.
jstest outputs

$ jstest /dev/input/js0
Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Xbox Wireless Controller) has 8 axes (X, Y, Z, Rz, Gas, Brake, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
and 15 buttons (BtnA, BtnB, BtnC, BtnX, BtnY, BtnZ, BtnTL, BtnTR, BtnTL2, BtnTR2, BtnSelect, BtnStart, BtnMode, BtnThumbL, BtnThumbR).

dmesg output:

I tried with xboxdrv and with steamos-dkms-git but none of them worked, so I don't know what to do next.
Thank you in advance for your help

Try xpadneo from the AUR.

Re: Xbox One controller - One button doesn't work

Thanks for answering @astiak, I'm trying it right now.

It doesn't fix the issue, and now even the right stick is not mapped well.
Testing the inputs with

jstest /dev/input/js0

, everything looks right (same as before).

Relevant dmesg output:

[15518.195439] xpadneo udev: ok

I really don't know what to try next.

Update:
It does work correctly when plugged in with a cable.
