Xbox 360 controllers GUIDE+<some key> fails #191

Describe the Bug

Passing an Xbox 360 from Moonlight to Sunshine fails to pass GUIDE+.
Tested with steam Big Picture mode and pressing GUIDE+X should open the performance overlay.

Tested controllers on moonlight client that fail:

  • actual Xbox 360 controller (usb) client -> fails;
  • GameSir Nova in xinput mode -> fails;
  • Xbox One controller -> fails;

Tested controllers that work:

  • GameSir Nova any other mode -> works;
  • DualSense -> works;

On the host all controllers work properly.

Both systems are Fedora Silverblue with a custom layer to add all controller support (xpad, xpadneo, xone). Uhid is loaded via Sunshine.

Tested on Sunshine versions:

  • Sunshine-2026.1003.171600-1.fc44.x86_64 (beta) -> fails;
  • Sunshine-2026.914.233613-1.fc44.x86_64 (stable) -> fails;
  • Sunshine-2026.906.222525-1.fc44.x86_64 (stable) -> fails;
  • Sunshine-2026.516.143833-1.fc44.x86_64 (stable) -> works;

Stopped working after Sunshine-2026.516.143833-1.fc44.x86_64 (stable).

Expected Behavior

It should work

    Which Moonlight client are you using?

    The issue is that xpadneo is intercepting the gamepad, and they have chords setup for the exact scenario you're describing. I think I have a fix though.

    Are you able to self compile Sunshine with #192 applied to test and let me know if it resolves the issue for you?

    Sure, I will try it out. Probably tomorrow and report back there.
