Xbox Controller detected as two devices
Godot version
3.5 RC4
System information
Windows 10, GLES3, Intel HD 620
Issue description
Xbox Wireless Controller gets detected as two controllers.
I detect connected controllers with Input, like so:
var joypads = Input.get_connected_joypads()
If I connect an Xbox Wireless controller i get two entries. One for an XInput Gamepad, and one for an Xbox Series Controller.
They both give input actions from the physical controller.
In a local multiplayer game this causes problems because one controller gets interpreted as two players, and thus the same physical controller controls two characters.
I have not hade this problem with my wired Xbox clone controller, my wireless 8Bitdo or my wired Xbox 360 clone controller.
Steps to reproduce
Connect an Xbox Wireless Controller (or maybe a wired, though I have not tested this).
Get a list of connected controllers using Input.get_connected_joypads()
See that the list contains two entries, instead of the expected one entry.

I tested the same controller on the Gamepad Tester website, and it does not register as two devices there, but instead as a single "Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)"
If I connect an Xbox Wireless controller i get two entries.
Are you using an USB adapter or Bluetooth for the wireless connection? Same question for @MicrotonalMatt :slightly_smiling_face:
The controller was connected to the computer via USB cable but was sending inputs via bluetooth. I just found that switching the usb port fixed the issue for me but I'm still not sure of the cause.

This was likely the culprit. I'm not sure if we can do anything about it. How do other engines behave in this situation?
@FarbrorMartin Can you check whether you were had the controller connected via USB while using it via Bluetooth?
I’m sorry but I returned the controller, and I don’t have another one like it. (It had some connection issues where it constantly lost BT-connection) It was a Xbox wireless, so I assume I connected it via Bluetooth. If I remember correctly it worked as it should when I tested it on that js-based web page. Can’t remember the name right now. It’s for testing controllers. I think that one is based off the same libraries as Godot’s controller code. SDL? Maybe you could test that and see if it works?

I tested the controller with both usb ports on gampad-tester.com and both times it detected the controller as xinput with index 0.
I have the same issue in 4.0 beta 12, but only when the controller is in Bluetooth mode. Hooking up the controller with a USB-C cable fixes the issue for me. When wireless, it registers as XInput Gamepad and Xbox Series Controller. When connected via cable, it only registers as XInput Gamepad.
Edit: I tested in the gamepad tester website, and it detected it as a single controller. This seems like a Godot issue.
