This one is a bit of a story, so i’ll put a TL;DR at the bottom
Currently would just like to share my personal experience with these controllers and how I got them to work on my own PC. I have two of the models I inherited from some younger siblings that don’t use them anymore (1506260-01 and 1507843-01) both of which are wired models. When I plugged them in, I found my PC would recognize the device plugged in, but when I went to play anything, specifically Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, the controls were either screwed up or flat out would not work. I used plenty of keymappers suggested online, (BetterJoy, DS4 Windows, x360ce, reWASD, Xpadder, Steam controls), all would not recognize these as controllers/ gamepads except for reWASD which asked me to pay to even use the thing after the 14 day trial of their tier was up. Extremely frustrated, I spent more hours trying to get anything to work so I didn’t have to pay for what seemed to be a pretty basic fix. Finally, I stumbled across a weebly (which honestly I do not even know how I found) that suggested a program nobody had suggested or posted about online called XOutput. Although you manually have to put in the controls, I had already mapped them out in x360ce so I just manually put in the values. Booted up Minecraft, and it worked. No disconnect, no issues, no lag in controls. Although I was happy this finally worked, this program is very bare bones, no fancy settings or anything. However if you are like me and just desperate to find something that works, I would suggest this program since it has been the only free option I have found to work.
TL;DR: Controllers not recognized in any program when plugged into PC via USB, tried XOutput and it worked
