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…


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.
