Old XBOX 360 controller yea. I've used it for a lot of games and works great for them, so I know the sticks aren't like off center or anything like my previous one was. Did you mean press the sticks to activate their button function or just invert them from each other? Pressing them down would be pretty difficult but I'll give that a try. That portion of the tutorial kinda whooshed by and I barely read the text, then it was just in an infinite loop of telling me to get into the box without repeating the other thing.
