Wine doesn't detect the Xbox360 wired controller.
Comandante Ñoñardo Jul 18, 2015
Im experiencing with Wine on Ubuntu 14.04
I installed Alan Wake DRMFREE, the game works without audio on cinematics and the Xbox controller is not detected..

I installed the GOG edition of Darksiders on Wine 1.7.44 and it works fine (except for the cinematics) and the Xbox controller is not detected...

Even the Control Panel of Wine doesn't show the Xbox 360 controller, but Ubuntu detect it very well.

Have you tried to install xboxdrv? That was the only way I was ever able to get my 360 controllers to work in wine. It is in the main Ubuntu repos too.
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
All you have to do is run xboxdrv from the terminal before you start up your wine game.

I did it, and it throws me an error:

I forgot to mention one thing, you have to run xboxdrv as root, oops, kinda a big thing to forget, sorry :S:
But in order to run it without having to do "sudo xboxdrv" every time, I did find this on the Ubuntu website

Quoting: Ubuntu Help WebsiteYou also have to make sure that you have access rights to /dev/input/uinput, either add yourself to the appropriate group, adjust the permissions or run xboxdrv as root.

I find it inconsistent. Some games it works (like Castle Crashers) and some it doesn't (Batman: Arkham City)

Use this and it will be detected every time: http://www.x360ce.com/default.aspx
No need for xboxdrv.

I have had issues with the Xbox 360 controller not working properly in Way of the Samurai 4 via Wine.

What I did was download an X360CE controller configuration file (usually someone shares a working X360CE file somewhere and I believe those files are legal to share) and put that in the same directory as the game's executable along with the Xinput.dll file and everything worked out well.

Would that help?
