[Question] Warning about Xbox One X Controller Remapping

Question

Hello, I encountered some problems in the process of learning using isaac sim.
I'm getting this error when I try to connect my controller to isaacsim. I'm not sure if it's because of a problem with my controller driver or mapping, or if isaac sim doesn't currently support this model of Xbox controller. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me figure it out.

Thank you for posting this. Could you share the versions of Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab you are using, and the steps you followed to install your setup? Thanks.

I'm encountering the same issue when using an Xbox controller:

However, the controller works perfectly in https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad

I’m experiencing the exact same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 with Isaac Sim 4.5.0 on USB-C connected Xbox Series controller.

Despite enabling gamepad mappings or hot-injection via Script Editor,

I still get the “unknown remapping” warning and “No Gamepad” status.

Do you have any updates or workaround?

I'm experiencing the exact same issue with an Xbox Series S|X Controller. Has NVIDIA provided any official solution or workaround for this? I couldn't find any relevant information in the Isaac Sim documentation.
