A much better workaround is to launch the gamepad into "Windows mode," where it emulates an Xbox360 controller. (Hold X and Start while it's turned off, before you've plugged it in if you're going to)
This works perfectly, and I'm not even sure I filed this bug against the right package to begin with, so I'd like to close this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774656 Title: Fake axes detected on 8bitdo pro controllers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1774656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
