Just for anyone who'll encounter a similar problem.
Had a go at GI today with a gamepad (some Xbox knockoff). To my big surprise, gamepad was working very fine both via USB and Bluetooth except for one small problem: right stick wasn't detected.
Spent quite a while to figure out the problem and the solution for it. wine regedit tricks didn't help me.
That solved my problem was setting the environment variable SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG to some very obscure value.
EDIT by Krock: For Dualsense controllers, check #216 .

That solved my problem was setting the environment variable `SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG` to some very obscure value.
This value can be generated by:
- `controllermap` SDL2 test tool (https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/test/controllermap.c), compile with
```
gcc `sdl2-config --libs --cflags` controllermap.c -o controllermap
```
- Open-source SDL2 Gamepad Mapper https://gitlab.com/ryochan7/sdl2-gamepad-mapper (didn't work for me), and
- SDL2 Gamepad Tool https://www.generalarcade.com/gamepadtool (but it is proprietary, use at your own risk!).

This and the information from #216 should be shared with people outside this project as well.
Do you happen to know of a place where this information would fit best? A Wine/Lutris/Proton wiki, or perhaps a blog post? If there is any such public article, I would like to link it within the troubleshooting document.

To be honest, IDK. I think it's fine as it is right now, but posting it somewhere more accessible would be definetly good.
Thank you very much for this input. It's not documented in INSTALLATION.md -> 4e100ba
