Hi everyone,

I cannot get my controller to work wirelessly with Steam. I connect it to my PC using a wireless USB adapter that came with it. When I try to use it, it says “No controllers detected” in the Steam settings, even though the OS detects it. I’ve even tried using it with a non Steam game once and it worked wirelessly. All controller inputs work perfectly fine on wireless connection when I test it using an online gamepad tester, but the only way the controller can be detected by Steam is wired connection. I do have Steam Input for generic, Xbox and Switch Pro controllers enabled in the settings, as well as support for PlayStation controllers. I did quickly test the wireless connection with a couple of games from my Epic Games library using Heroic Games Launcher but it didn’t seem to work either. I do remember the wireless connection working fine when I was on Windows.

Some technical info:

• I am on Linux Mint 22.2
• Running lsusb in the terminal returns Bus 001 Device 003: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller for the controller. I have no idea why this is, as I don’t think this is a Nintendo controller at all XD
• According to the online gamepad tester I used, the name of the controller is “057e-2009-Canyon controller GPW3”.

Any help is appreciated!!
