Jun 5, 2014 - Note: Your Xbox One controller needs to be connected to your PC through the micro USB cable for PC gaming. The greatest gamepad – now. Feb 09, 2015 The Spectra is only available as a wired controller with a 9.8ft cable attached, which is probably for the best considering the extra power needs for the lighting.

I keep pressing buttons and nothing happens.
Unplug the cable and make sure you are connecting it in the right slot, then connect it again.
Your cable may be defective and will not power your controller at all. If this is happening, you have to buy a new cable and replace it.
I keep pressing buttons but nothing moves on the screen.
Ensure that you are plugging your controller into a USB port that will provide enough power for the controller to work.
You might not have the correct software that recognizes the controller; check if you even have a software. If not, download one. If this does not work, test your controller on other devices, such as an Xbox console or another computer to check if the controller works.
Some or all the buttons in my controller take too long to pop up
The buttons on your controller might have food residue or just dust. If you want to clean them you will need a cleaning wipe and some alcohol. If that does not work, try opening the controller to clean them more thoroughly or change them.
When I am playing a game, the controller won’t vibrate.
Make sure the vibration option is enabled which is commonly found in the setting of the game you are playing. The vibration option may also be turned off from the console settings.
Try out a different controller to play the game. If the controller still doesn’t vibrate there is a high chance the game doesn’t support the vibration effect. Download game clash of clans mod apk latest version.
If you’ve tried all the above and your controller still isn’t vibrating, you most likely have a defective vibration motor. If so, grab a screwdriver because you will need it for the Xbox One Wireless Controller Trigger Rumble Motor Replacement guide. This guide requires soldering.

Tools required: TR6 Torx Security Screwdriver, TR8 Torx Security Screwdriver, Spudger, soldering station tweezers (recommended)
My controller is working but the led appears off
If your controller is working but the LED is not on, it might be because it is burned out and you will have to replace it.
There might be a problem with the connections between the LED and the power of the controller. This could be either because it has fallen or a beverage has been spilled on it. The best option is to open the controller and check the connections with a voltage tester.
I've got this controller ('www.bestbuy.com/site/power-a-spectra-controller-for-xbox-one-black/8685189.p?skuId=8685189') that I'm trying to get to work on Ubuntu, but its causing immense trouble. This is largely due to my inexperience with Linux.
I've installed the driver for xbox controllers using this forum here, but when I checked to see if it recognized my controller it gave me the following error:
This forum mentioned that I need to install a patch to xpad.c to make my controller work. Advice was given on how to patch a document as a response to that guy's question. However, in this command, I need to save the patch in the same place where xpad.c is apparently saved. This leads to my questions:
- Am I on the right track? Is xpad and xboxdrv the same thing? Will the patch in the above forum work for my purposes?
- Where is this xpad.c? Does it install with xboxdrv? I've tried to search for it on my computer, and I get some header files for it, but I can't move the patch into the folder where its located.
- In general, where do files get saved when installing programs like these?
Thanks in advance for the help. Please keep in mind that I am a novice: the more detail, the better.
Power A Xbox Controller Driver
Update: I'm using Ubuntu version 16.04. I've tried options of installing xpad-v0.4 and the steamos version. I've noted with both that the program jstest-gtk recognizes the controller, even the brand (PowerA Spectra), but the controller simply continues to flash its LED light, and it remains unresponsive when I try to input controls.

I have gotten to the point where my controller was recognised, but not responding to button-presses. Maybe your controller will respond, if you follow my steps, but maybe it won't.
xpad and xboxdrv are not the same thing, they are two different approaches. It seems at the moment that xboxdrv works best, but is not quite up to date on Ubuntu.
You need to download, modify and then compile the newest version of xboxdrv.
Download
From github, https://github.com/zerojay/xboxdrv press the green Clone or Download button, then Download ZIP.
Extract the downloaded file to an empty folder.
Modify
Here comes the tricky part. In the extracted folder, locate the file [..]/src/xpad_device.cpp. Open it, and you will find a long list of entries like
{ GAMEPAD_XBOX, 0x0d2f, 0x0002, 'Andamiro Pump It Up pad' },
You want to add your own controller to this list. It should be on the form
{ GAMEPAD_XBOXONE, 0x????, 0x????, 'Your product description' },
And you need to find the two codes that identify it.
In a Terminal, type
watch lsusb
Plug in your controller and make a note of the line that appears in the list. This is your controller. Mine was called
Bus 002 Device 013: ID 0e6f:02b2 Logic3
In xpad_device.cpp check that your controller's ID isn't already among the xbox one controllers. If it is, you can skip the rest of this step.
Add your entry to the list, adding the first and second part of your controller's device ID to the first and second code in the entry. Mind that each entry is comma-separated, and the last entry has no comma after it.
Mine becomes
{ GAMEPAD_XBOXONE, 0x0e6f, 0x02b2, '@Play - Wired Controller for Xbox One' },
Save the file and close it.
Compile
From a terminal, navigate to the extracted folder. First paste in

to install dependencies. The actual compiling may take a while. Type
scons
then
make install
Run
Power A Spectra Controller Drivers
From a terminal,
sudo xboxdrv
See if it works. For actual gaming, run
Spectra Controller Driver
sudo xboxdrv --silent
So it won't waste CPU printing all input events to the terminal.
