The fact that only some buttons are recognized reminds me a lot of when Darksiders wanted me to use my n64 controller as an xbox 360 controller - very few of the inputs were recognized even though they should've been mapped to the buttons. I disabled all of my "game controller" devices in device manager and that fixed it (it let me use my keyboard for once!), but i can't tell if that's what you meant by your second to last point.
Have you updated your USB drivers? Are there any system restore points from around the time you noticed it stopped working that might give you an idea of what broke it?

Well, the wireless controller is two components. The Reciever, and the Joypad. The drivers are OK, but I'm suspecting something in the middle broke, regarding xinput. I'm investigating xsys.dll which is the "Windows Common Controller" or something. Might be the issue.
Also tried disabling all other devices, no luck.

You have a DRIVER PROBLEM, no matter what you say or what you have done. There is some file or registry key that are not cleaned up even with a reinstall.

well, it is a software problem, not hardware. Read about that.
But yes, there might be some registry or windows thingie that didn't get cleared or got replaced. I'm pointing towards that xsys.dll, but I think that one is shipped with windows.

Maybe it's something as simple as a missing or corrupted xinput DLL? Have you checked the Windows Event Log (eventvwr) for any errors concerning XInput? I'm on the same config (Win7 64, wireless 360 controller), I can provide you with xinput1_1.dll, xinput1_2.dll, xinput1_3.dll and XInput9_1_0.dll.

Did you reinstal Microsoft XNA Framework and Net Framework 4 ? In both this framework are libraries with XInput.
And did you try maybe XBCD? http://vba-m.com/forum/Thread-xbcd-0-2-7-release-info-updates-will-be-posted-here

is the controller connected with a quick play and charge connector? If so I know exactly whats causing the problem if not then use CCleaner to remove the registry files (and uninstall the driver) and do a fresh install. if that doesn't work I'll need the specs of your system (including OS) and the controller model to tell you whats up.

Can you use a keyboard-joystick mapper like http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/ ?

open Device Manager and locate your wireless controller unit. Remove the drivers and manually install them again by using Device Manager. Worked for me when my XBOX 360 controller didn't work (after updating to win 8).
Also, make sure you have the latest drivers (microsoft.com still have the old ones as well). The new drivers are named "XBOX 360 accessories" or something like that.

it seems to have fixed itself for now thanks for the offer anyway.

I have Windows 7 x64 | Had no issues for 3 years | My XBOX Wireless Controller is original
This works:
This somewhat works:
This doesn't work:
I'm suspecting this is related to some kind of XInput joypad detection.
What I already did:
Update 1: Joypad works fine on my crappy laptop. Big Picture Mode had no issues, so it's my current Windows install.
Update 2: This is so annoying, if you give me a good tip that leads to fixing this issue, I'll give you 3 bundle games of a list of 10, I think.
Update 3: Solved. It could be one of a couple things:
Will do a bit of research on this, in any case, only solution 3 will win the games since 1 and 2 were my ideas.
And the user who posted that deleted his post =\
