It works on my laptop. I hope it merged soon to work on Steam Deck as well. Another bug, but that's beyond the scope of my original ticket, is the controller being named just "Elite" instead of "Elite 2" over USB. I will open a new ticket for the other issue and close this one when the PR is merged.
