You can try running x360ce.exe from the Zip available on the project's GitHub (see link above), but this needs particular. Luckily for us, it works perfectly in Wine as a way to fix the mixed-up mappings of the Xbox controller itself.

This Windows program is designed to allow you to remap the buttons and axes on some other gamepad, such as a PlayStation controller, to match those of an Xbox 360 controller. x360ceIf all you need to do is to fix the button mapping for Wine games, the simplest solution I've found is x360ce (the "Xbox 360 Controller Emulator"). The big advantage it offers is that it allows you to map gamepad (or joystick or steering wheel) buttons to keyboard presses, enabling you to use a gamepad in games that don't offer built-in support. It's a pretty powerful program but is also quite a hassle to configure. Don't worry though, it's not hard to fix this, by simply remapping the buttons to the correct inputs and then Wine games will recognise it properly and assign the right actions to the correct buttons. This is because gamepad button mapping is different in Windows, Linux and even Mac. When running Windows games under Wine, you are quite likely to find that the buttons and axes do not do what they're supposed to, or even don't function at all. This controller should work without need for configuration in most native Linux games.
