I have no problem connecting my SN30 Pro+ to my 8bit adapter, but nothing recognizes it. Blue-man sees it as a Bluetooth adapter, but Steam Gamepad Tester or Heroic simply don't recognize it.

I can use my built-in Bluetooth to connect my controller to my PC, but the buttons are all out of order - RB and LB are bound to Start and Select, LT doesn't work, etc. I've tried using jstest to calibrate it, but it doesn't work. Steam calibration tool and the test show everything is working properly, but every other tester says otherwise (https://gamepadtest.com/, https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad, jstest-gtk, etc.), which is why I decided to buy the USB adapter thinking it would give me no problems.

Things I've tried:

jstest-gtk

evtest

xone, xow, xpad-drv

Update both firmware to the newest version.

Any insight will be appreciated. i'm using endeavouros i3wm edition

I posted about it here: (sorry not sure how to do a cross-post from its instance) https://lemmy.ca/post/1123689?scrollToComments=true, but SDL version 2.28 is broken for 8bitdo controllers in Xbox mode, downgrading to 2.27 fixes that.
