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…

    Hello, I have had a “similar” issue. In my case a program didn’t recognise my controller as the first one because my motherboard’s led controller (!!!) pretended to be a controller.

    One very good and useful thing you can do is:

    • Verify that is really the problem, use udevadm info <device path> and see if it has ID_INPUT_JOYSTIC=1 or something similar.
    • Write an udev rule to unset the variable (e.g. ID_INPUT_JOYSTIC=) to remove the 1 without actually setting it to 0
    • Send the rule to systemd in an issue so they add it to a list of known hardware quirks. This way everyone with your keyboard will get the fix
