Hello,
I bought a "VR Case 2nd" Bluetooth wireless controller for my Raspberry Pi 3 and want to use it with LibreELEC.
The BT controller is recognized as gamepad so far, but the key setting configuration is still messed up and LibreElec is setting up the device only as some sort of volume control controller. At the moment i can set only the volume but not navigate in the menu.

I don't know why the Version ID differs. It shows up two times, one as 3634 and the other as 0004.

bluez-hcidump
-sh: bluez-hcidump: not foundAs far as i know i have to set up an udev file in ~/.config/udev.rules.d/ but could need some guidance for a proper rule configuration.
I want to use the analog stick to navigate in the LibreElec GUI and in the fullscreen player mode i want to use it as analog control to step forward or backward in the video. The more i push the analog stick to the right the faster the player should jump forward in the video and if i push the stick to the left it should navigate backwards in the video.
The buttons should be used for entering or leaving a menu, volume control and things like that.
But there also seems some problem with the scancodes. The evtest command wasn't available on LibreELEC so i did enable debug logging to take a look at ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log for the scancodes but it seems to be, that the "button C" is linked to pressing the "joystick down" and the "button D" to "joystick up".
The scancodes are at least the same. I don't know if this is a hardware issue, but if not, i would like to sort that out and use all uniquely.
Here's what the logs revealed about the scancodes of the buttons and the analog stick:

Joystick pressed (the stick is like the ones from a modern gamepad it has a noticable pressure point if pressed and this is usually used as a button):
no functionThanks in advance for any help you can give me.
