Gyro doesn't work on Linux for that controller unless you're using Bluetooth. You need the proprietary software.

It does, I use it exclusively with the 2.4g dongle on Linux.
You do unfortunately need the proprietary software for the initial firmware update (it works in a VM), but afterwards all you need is to ensure your distro has the proper Udev rules installed and to hold B when booting the controller.

Ah so they still haven't fixed the issue where it reverts from XInput mode every time. Glad at least it works now, though.
