I'm gonna give it a shoot. I hope it fixes Xbox one gamepads. Wine don't map them correctly when they are connected though bluetooth. Using an usb cable works fine though.

That's not a wine issue, but the controller having a very weird HID interface, which even presents different mappings based on how it was connected last time, and to what device. And also some buttons are reported as keyboard buttons... You need a proper driver that conceals this, install xpad-neo and the controller will work as well as it does wired.

That actually worked thanks!! I hope they include the driver in the kernel in the future.
EDIT: Wow, they are already on it (help wanted).
