This looks like a Steam Road Map circa 2005:

Its actually a fallback built into the controller, I am having trouble locating another like that.

My steam controller will act as a keyboard and mouse. I wonder if theres just a cheaper, more available controller out there that does whatever it is the steam controller is doing. It seems to work regardless of the DE, shit even the OS as it does it on my Linux computer and my work windows computer. If there is something like that it might be the way to go.

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.

# KBD75 Rev2  
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4b42", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6061", 
ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""

I mean they aren’t wrong, that would be equality technically.

The trick is the rich never have to sleep under bridges, or beg in the streets, or steal bread…

Feel free to hit me up when it does bother you again. I didnt fix mine until I had to.

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.

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.

The only slop worth using is slop you make for yourself.

Has that been happening a lot here?
