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 recall running into this issue as well. Ended up just unplugging my keyboard before booting up the game lol.

My understanding is that it isn't a linux problem, but a problem with Dark Souls 2 specifically. Like I'm pretty sure Windows users encounter this too.
