Some games incorrectly map controller buttons or don't detect certain buttons on controllers under Wine/Proton. In my specific case I am attempting to play "Yakuza: Like a Dragon" through Proton. It detects the controller just fine but the buttons are not mapped properly. For example it maps the trigger buttons to the right stick, and the actual right stick is not recognised by the game. This seems to affect Windows users too, but their fixes either don't work (turning off Steam Input) or don't apply (using x360ce, which needs dotnet45 to run). The ideal solution here is to wait for a Wine/Proton patch as the issue is documented, but I'm hoping for a band-aid fix for this game and more generally a solution for games under Wine in general. I would like an x360ce-like tool to fix incorrectly mapped controllers for, say, games that have been abandoned by developers and had broken controller support natively on Windows.

I have looked into SC-Controller but it doesn't seem to be quite as flexible as x360ce from what I've messed around with over the last week or so. x360ce lets you have more detailed mapping fixes such as passing in specific button/axis codes. Essentially I want my button presses on my controller to pass the inputs the game expects and from what I've read and briefly used many years ago a tool like x360ce allows for this.

I've also checked out gamepad-tool, however it doesn't seem to do anything when I set the SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG variable either by passing it as a launch option to my games, or through setting it as an environment variable when running the tool with sudo. This tool like SC-Controller does not allow for as granular control over what inputs each button sends.

Is there any, preferably graphical, tool that can do this on Linux either native or through Wine?
