PC Gaming - Xbox One Wireless Controller left and right trigger Z axis/rotation mapping

Just bought a new Xbox One wireless controller hoping to play steam games from the couch. Unfortunately the new controller has moved the left and right triggers to their own inputs which breaks a lot of games that have no support for custom mapping or are
aware of a controller from Microsoft using a different mapping scheme. The older Xbox 360 controller has a negative and positive Z axis for the left and right triggers.

After a bit of scouring I came across a few articles saying to downgrade drivers; though this only worked for wired versions of the controller leaving me in the same position I was in earlier.

Anyone in this community have a custom driver solution or workaround?

Xbox One Controller Wireless Adapter Z axis and rotation at 0%

Hey there,

I have a little problem. Recently, my Xbox One controller which I use for playing PC games started having problems. When I try to play games, lots of malfunctions happen. "Dragon Age: Inquisition" crashes at startup and corrupts my latest savefile, and "Ori
and the Blind Forest" makes my character walk to the left forever, as if my left stick were stuck (and it's not). The source of the problem lies in the controllers Z axis: there used to be just one, but it was split into a Z axis and Z rotation in some driver
update. When I look up the controller properties on my PC, both the axis and rotation start at 0% and rise to 100% when I press the shoulder trigger buttons. This causes detection problems in games that are programmed to recognize one Z axis sitting at 50%
and going to 0 and 100% when pressing the left and right triggers respectively.

I actually can solve this problem by following these steps:

1.) Open Device Manager

2.) Right Click "Xbox One Controller"

3.) Select Update Driver Software

4.) Browse

5.) Let me pick

6.) "Microsoft Xbox One controller"

This 'merges' the Z axis and Z rotation back into one. However, now comes the real problem: I recently bought a Wireless Adapter to connect my controller to my Windows 10 PC wirelessly, and I
can't change the driver of the adapter. The adapter displays the same problems revolving the Z split (once again an axis and a rotation).

I tried contacting Live Chat Support for Xbox, who sent me to Live Chat for Microsoft, who after two hours sent me back again to Live Chat Support for Xbox. Sigh. The guy at Xbox Live Chat then sent me to the Microsoft Community Support, after which someone
over there sent me here, to the Xbox forums. So, I really, really, really hope someone here would be able to help me! I would truly appreciate it.

 

Xbox Wireless Controller doesn't work while is connected via bluetooth to pc.

Hello my Xbox Wireless Controller connects to pc via bluetooth but it doesn't work. For few weeks it worked, in "joy.cpl" it was called "bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device" and in properties it had Z axis and X, Y rotation. Now it has changed randomly
and it's called "Xbox Bluetooth Gamepad" and in properties it has only Z axis which is split on Z axis and Z rotation. It doesn't work in any game anymore. I tried installing new bluetooth drivers and i've updated controller via "xbox accesories", but nothing
has changed.
