ps2 dualshock also works nicely with this one adaptor, I could try to
find out exactly what it is. I can confirm that the 8bitdo doesn't
work though.

Yeah, iirc I've seen all of these, and they'd all probably require a
bit of work to fix. Not sure about the second one, and the third
occurs also in one of the modes of the 8bitdo which I couldn't
override. Also not sure about how to handle this better, but the
whole joystick stack could perhaps be redesigned to make it a bit
easier to work with.
