With a USB Adapter

If you have an older Xbox One controller, or you just want to use your newer one with Microsoft's proprietary wireless connection instead of Bluetooth, you need to get the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. It's a USB dongle designed to connect directly to your Xbox One gamepad without any Bluetooth setup or pairing. All you need to do is plug in the dongle and pair it to your controller just as if you were pairing your Xbox One, pressing the Pairing button on each device.

This $25 adapter has some benefits over Bluetooth. For starters, you can use up to eight gamepads with the adapter, while Microsoft recommends using just one at a time with Bluetooth. The headset jack is also enabled if you use the adapter, with adjustable settings in the Xbox app for Windows 10.

Use It Wired

Finally, if you don't need a wireless connection, you can just use a micro USB cable. Plug one end into your PC and the other into the micro USB port at the top of the gamepad, and it will automatically install. You won't have to go through any menus or plug in any adapters.

Raspberian and RetroPie installs SDL 2.0.5+5rpi package to handle low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, this is the lastest version avaliable to install but it dont work with Xbox One S Controller, why? Because it was released 8 months ago, and the lastest Xbox One S commit on SDL project was 5 months ago (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/log?rev=xbox), which probably fix everything related to xbox one controller, since it says 'The XBox One S controller sends keys outside the standard joystick button range '.

I tested it on my Rasp 3, removed SDL 2.0.5, installed SDL from the source, and now Select button on Xbox One S controller WORKS, BUT, in libreretro emulators via Retroarch, probably because of how old XPAD is, it takes a few minutes to the controller start working in general (like 2min without any key working), last time I fixed it installing again XPAD from source in retropie setup, but now because of time and misconfiguration of my part I didnt tested, I dont trully know the relashionship between XPAD and SDL so I dont know more about it.

So TL;DR version of all this, it is possible to Retropie/Raspbian team to install by default SDL from source, or to update SDL binary to source version with xbox one s fixes, and maybe take a look at XPAD or Bluez? If not, can someone please teach me how to remove SDL binary and install SDL from the source without everytime some other package which uses SDL try to 'overwrite' my manual installation because SDL package isnt installed officially.

Sorry for the long text but Im trying to fix/workaround this problem for a whole week.
