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…


First do
lsusb | grep -i keychronand then plug the ID that it returns into the following launch options for the game on Steam:SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=0x<ID>/0x<ID> %command%The first ID is probably going to be 3434 since that’s the manufacturer ID for Keychron.
Thank you; thats a much better solution than mine.
And keyboard works fine if you need it also
