Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have a custom made Fighting Stick with a MadCatz Alpha board that was recognized on Steam on Linux before. The last time I tried it was at the beginning of the year if I recall correctly. It is still recognized as a USB device on my system, as you can see on the screenshot below, but steam fails to recognize it now for some reason.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Connect Fighting Stick
  2. Try to configure it from Steam Controller Configuration or Big Picture mode
  3. The Stick is nowhere to be found

Sorry for the lack of response, I was waiting for the newer version os SDL with the fixes to land, and after that never got to really test it. But it seems that it still doesn't work, I also had a look at the link you provided and while related to MadCatz, that change was only for the FightPad, not for the Arcade Stick. Is there anywhere I can report this issue so the people behind SDL can fix it?

Hello @zKhrona, SDL does have a bug tracker at https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/.

Hello again @kisak-valve and sorry for the late response. It seems that Steam is finally able to recognize my Fighting Stick again. It's been a while since I last tried it, so I don't know when it was fixed, but it seems to be working again. This issue can probably be closed now. Thanks for the all the help!!
