Pairing Xbox 360 Media Remote with LE?

I have a NEXBOX A95X TV box running LibreELEC 8.2.3.1 and lately when looking through some old stuff, I found my old Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (looks like this). Since the remote that came with my Nexbox is basically atrocious, I began to wonder if it's possible to use my Xbox remote for that purpose - is it possible? I've tried the easiest route of just firing up Keymap Editor in Kodi and trying to map something to anything on the remote but it didn't work out, it didn't recognize any of the presses. I've also tried copying this remote.conf from the forum's repo into .config folder but it didn't help Do I need some special receiver for it (in which case I'll most likely pass) or can I do something else to make it work?
