Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

My pro controller 1 died finally after years of using it. So I went and got the pro controller 2. Did the beta branch then plugged it in and it failed. So I update it on my partners console and upgraded the firmware, but it did nothing. Tried a different wire, no dice. I looked online after being told it worked and they removed it with an update last December. It was added back this week. Which was confusing as fuck. I got it to see it and name it, but it refuses to do anything. I only use wired but tried Blu tooth out to no avail. I see Linux recognizes it using the kernel but I can't get anything to use it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Checked in the beta program to see if it worked there. I plugged it in it it didn't work. Not sure what else to put here due to it just being simple and I'm still new to posting on here

Understandble, but could you me help figure out the fix? I'm totally out of my depth here
