No, it's connected with a wire. Even in my own game with NeoFPS it doesn't work. It is also an older controller so yeah.
I count XBox One as newer because I'm old :D. I've never seen that fail wired though. Do you have any other gamepad software running like Joy2Key, XBCD, etc?
Either way the new input system should support it. The asset itself includes a version 1 of that system as an extension package. I'll look at switching the demos over once I've had some more time to polish it
