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…

    See if you can tell if your box is reading your keyboard as a joypad. Mine was doing that and it would take 1st player slot on some games like rain world. It was also picking up my puck as a virtual Xbox controller for some reason. You can set it in like udev to not recognize it like that. Not sure if thats the issue but I had something similar with my qmk kbd75 rev2 and thats what I had to do.

      Yea apparently according to the Steam guide I found Keychron keyboards are detected as joysticks so it would take priority over the SC.
      What confuses me tho is why especially this brand and why only in this game?
      Eh I guess don’t look a gifted horse in the launch options or something

        Lol its the microcontroller used I think? For whatever reason it registers in udev as a joypad as well as a keyboard. Its a simple edit in udev to get it fixed but I only did it once in my life so its not in my memory. If you want I can paste my udev edit when I get home tonight.
