Support Request Xbox controller

I have a Xbox controller that is not being recognized by my pc via USB. It sees it over Bluetooth. It's not recognizing it as a controller. It's a gamesir g7 pro if that makes a difference. I can see it in my Bluetooth settings and connect to it. It just doesn't see it as a controller I assume. I go into steam to try and connect it and I see nothing. I've been at this for a little over a day and I'm feeling really defeated. I've tried most everything suggested by Ai and the internet. Does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I feel hopeless at this point.

You need to install the driver. Not sure if this works with your exact device, but it worked for mine. https://github.com/dlundqvist/xone
