The weirdest issue I've fixed so far (lemmy.today)

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…

I had a similar weird thing with deltarune. Steam controller was listed as second controller on launch(first was steam deck controls), but when booting the controls got swapped. Deltarune was expecting to use the second controller instead of the first though? Had to swap them manually in the steam OS menu but worked fine after that. Very odd.
