I can't play with my Xbone wireless controller, it gets trough the menus but i can't do anything when it tells me to Press A/X to Join.

Sometimes wireless is funky, hopefully you're able to connect with a wired controller if you can.
same happens with me when using the switch pro controller on the linux kernel drivers, when wired (havent checked wireless my computer doesnt have bluetooth dongle), i can get through the menus but ones i get to A/X to join im out of luck
