It needs a driver, looks like there is one here: https://github.com/medusalix/xow. Source: over 1 year ago
Been using Xbox One Elite controllers (both gen 1 and 2) for a couple years now without issue and I even use the proprietary Xbox wireless USB dongle. If you use this "xone" driver then it just works as it does in Windows. It's an evolution of the older "xow" driver where you'd just have to run a command to invoke the pairing process, if anyone was familiar with that driver. Source: over 1 year ago
You need an Xbox wireless dongle, disabling read-only mode and install xow driver. https://github.com/medusalix/xow. Source: over 1 year ago
I own 2 Xbox controllers, and I'm wondering if the wireless adapter works on Linux natively, or if I need to install other drivers, like xpadneo or XoW? Source: over 1 year ago
Huh maybe use gamepadtest.com to see if the controller is not at fault. Source: about 1 year ago
And yes, you can remove the joystick usage from the HID report descriptor. I've updated this gist above showing this (https://gist.github.com/todbot/a3fc00da979fe96dc509bed6cb73cf99) It works and can be seen by test apps like https://gamepadtest.com/ but it's 16-buttons, not 12 like yours.

His thread above is archived, but I worked off this to find out more - so credit to the GOAT. My issue was that the left thumbstick would seem to "give out" when put into a certain direction (mine happened to be the X-axis, mainly to the right). Looking at a gamepad testing site, it would bounce between the point I had it set to, and "0" rapidly. The brokenness seems "random" between users and what directions are...
