MY Xbox 360 "wired" gamepad wont input A button and am trying to fix ONCE in for all

we would love to help, but even though the 360 is no longer made or repaired or its accessories sold or repaired it is against forum rules to help you.

Microsoft is like apple, completely against self repair, even on products that are no longer supported.

I have tried to reset cache and cookies and it hasn't worked, the controller is a wired PDP brand controller and I am connecting it via usb. Third party gamepad tester websites will read my inputs but the official xbox cloud gamign website won't.

Well, I managed to pair my gamepad with Steam Link, my android phone (Sony Z5), my android TV, even with my PS3, every device recognized it as a "Wireless XBOX gamepad" and synced with it, however that's all I managed to do. No input there for me, I suspect
that there are no drivers for the time being. The strangest thing is that I tried to connect it wired on my Steam Link and still it did not work.

While playing via Bluetooth, no apps that I've tried even detect trigger movement. I had the idea to try it wired to see what happens. It now shows that there is a button being pressed, but they are not mapped to LT and RT, it's just a random button.

I was able to use an app (Mantis Gamepad Pro) to remap the buttons to touch virtual inputs, but this only works over a wired connection. Whatever the last controller update contained, it broke compatibility. This is not a problem with my phone.

Maybe your devs can figure it out and put it back to the way it was.

$30 for a wired one on Newegg or Amazon and not much more for wireless. I love the Xbox 360 controller. It is the most popular PC gamepad too these days, which is why I recently bought a wired one for my computer.
