Alright so I been daily driving Linux for a couple months now and it’s been pretty smooth going.
Today I felt nostalgic and wanted to play Dark Souls 2. And it absolutely didn’t recognize my controller. This is the first time I had such an issue with the Steam Controller and I didn’t know what to do.
Tried the usual suspects but nothing, and i had to give up. I tried googling, found no results, uninstalled. But I wasn’t happy, so I googled again and found the solution.
Apparently my Keychron keyboard is the issue? So quick exception added and it works. Still wondering why this isn’t an issue in any other game tho…

    Thanks but I can figure it out myself. (Prolly am gonna forget about this tho until it becomes an issue again).

        Could you post your solution here when you get the time? Don’t have the issue, but would love to know how udev was used to solve the issue for if I ever encounter the problem myself.

          Sure but it is per device, I am basically telling my system “this is not a joypad”. Its just a rule in udev. You’d need to get these values from your own device. Each vendor and product will have one.

          # KBD75 Rev2  
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4b42", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6061", 
ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""

            Thank you for the example. I have the same keyboard brand too so definitely nice to have. I think I can use lsusb to find my values.
