I want to know how to make Steam forget about my controller so I can set it up as new again
- Shut down steam
- go to steam/userdata/(number folder)/config/controller_configs
- delete the contents of that folder
- start steam
The "IDENTIFY" button will be there now.
Hey @lucifertdark,
I've done that previously. It doesn't work. I don't know if steam has syncronized the info online or how, but after deleting that folder and also everything under "SDL_GamepadBind" in .steam/steam/config/config.vdf still when I restart Steam the situation is unchanged.
Here is a screenshot of what I get:
My .steam/steam/config/config.vdf shows
"SDL_GamepadBind" "030000005f1400003202000011010000,xb360:HJC Game Trust GXT Gamepad,platform:Linux,a:b2,b:b1,y:b0,x:b3,start:b9,back:b8,leftstick:b10,rightstick:b11,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpleft:h0.8,dpdown:h0.4,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7, 03000000de280000ff11000001000000,Steam Virtual Gamepad,a:b0,b:b1,back:b6,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b8,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b9,lefttrigger:a2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b10,righttrigger:a5,rightx:a3,righty:a4,start:b7,x:b2,y:b3, 03000000de280000fc11000001000000,Steam Controller,a:b0,b:b1,back:b6,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b8,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b9,lefttrigger:a2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b10,righttrigger:a5,rightx:a3,righty:a4,start:b7,x:b2,y:b3,"
I think something might not be right with how Linux is loading my device. Here is some relevant output, and then I will tell you some considerations:

I tried installing xboxdrv and messing around with it, it did't work. So for now I am sticking to standard xpad.
One thing I notice is that my controller is not being loaded with the xpad driver when I plug it in, instead it is using the usbhid driver. I don't know if that is normal or not. So I also tried doing: sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe -v usbhid "quirks=0x145F:0x0232:0x0004" to blacklist my device from usbhid and when I connected it it was indeed loaded with the xpad driver, but it didn't result in the controller working as I expected either.
I would take any comments, advice, or possible things to try. Also if you see anything weird in any of the outputs or would benefit from having more information I am happy to provide it.
Thank you all in advance.
Gastón.
Hello @harogaston, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? Maybe give the script in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1214046/trust-controller-in-x-mode-seen-but-gives-no-input a try after adapting d.idVendor and d.idProduct to your controller's usbid.
This is an old post. This issue is resolved for me now.

Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
How can I make Steam recognize my controller as new? I can't see the "IDENTIFY" button for my controller now, and games don't see my controller connected. But it shows in controller settings page.
It is a Trust GTX 560 and I was playing fine before, when I plugged it in for the first time. I got the identity button and I played without any problems. But after I restarted my PC, Steam recognizes the controller differently and there is no "IDENTIFY" button anymore and the controller does not work in games.
My question is not operating system related. I want to know how to make Steam forget about my controller so I can set it up as new again.
