I have an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller I’ve used a bunch without issue on Windows, now I’m moving to Linux (Mint specifically) and I’m having trouble getting the controller to work. It’s supposed to work with Linux, but I can’t get it to work. Steam doesn’t detect the controller in its settings.

      Just to tag on to this, I only needed to enable the uinput module to fix my issue (steam suddenly stopped seeing my 8BitDo controller when it previously could). Didn’t have to do anything with udev rules.

      I’m not sure I’m quite technical enough for this, what exactly is the uinput I need to put into the file from step 4?

        Its literally just the word uinput.

        So you can do

        sudo echo 'uinput' > /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf

        Which just tells your system to load the uinput module on startup.
