I just posted a duplicate issue. Glad it's not just me.

Hello @lktaylor49 and @Alan-James, please adjust your udev rule to conform to http://steamcommunity.com/app/353370/discussions/0/490123197956024380/, then reload the udev rules and re-plug the controller/receiver or simply reboot.

Thanks Tele42, adding these two rules did the trick

# Valve HID devices over USB hidraw
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"

# Valve HID devices over bluetooth hidraw
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="28DE:", MODE="0666"
