I have an xbox360 controller that works with everything else I try, but SW won't recognize that it's plugged in or anything. The controls.cfg and gamepads.cfg seem normal (although gamepads.cfg doesn't have an entry for xbox360, I assume that's because it's basically the windows default). Any ideas how to get this game to recognize my controller?

Make sure that the drivers are installed for the 360 controller, this should happen automatically when you first plug the 360 controller. Then just unplug and replug in the controller and it should work fine once you launch the game.

Try adding all this to gamepads.cfg: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt

It worked for my xbox one controller on linux.

I just get a 404 on the link. Could you please paste the extra lines you added to gamepads.cfg for XB One controller support?

I published my full ~/.local/share/SteamWorldDig/gamepads.cfg here. I think you can rename yours and substitute it with this.

Just open it as raw and then save, or Download as ZIP.

I managed to get the XB1-controller working in Fedora 27 by adding Steamworld Dig to Steam. I first got a "Target"-error due to a space in one of the install directory folders ("GOG games") though. Once fixed all was good though. Will try with your .cfg later. I guess all this info would have been nice on PCGamingWiki.

This also worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Using your gamepads.cfg file however did not work. I guess you always need a current version of the file matching your SDL version.
