Xbox 360 wireless controller issues - pi 2 and odroid c1

I’m having trouble with the Xbox 360 wireless controllers on pi 2 and odroid c1. Either I’m being very stupid (highly possible) or there is some problems with the controller configuration. Whenever I press the ‘y’ button (yellow) a search option comes up and I cannot exit no matter what button I press. The controller also goes crazy sometimes and buttons do different things i.e. up is down. What am I doing wrong? This happens on both platforms so I don’t think it me to be honest

The search function has no gamepad escape yeah, known issue.

Dunno about the rest.

Yes, just don’t press Y until this bug is fixed.

The XBox controller has another known bug: when retroarch start, it will go down and down and down without pressing. But as soon as you press a key, it should stop doing stupid things and just work.
