I'm using Arch Linux. When I have USB connected I do get keyboard emulation, I think. When I have wireless adapter connected, the controller doesn't connect at all. If I go to "Add / Test Controllers" and I "Add steam controller" I cannot get the controller to connect no matter if it is wired or wireless. This screen says "No controllers detected" even though if the USB wire is connected to the controller, I can control the mouse cursor with the controller.

This controller and wireless adapter work fine on Windows. I suspect that there is an incorrect permissions somewhere but I'm not sure where to look for errors. Any help would be appreciated.

This is Arch specific. The issue is here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47330

I was able to solve with the workaround discussed in the comments.

Nothing extracted yet.
