Prehaps related to #8231? I have a feeling it's related to Switch Pro controllers as I have a Brook Pi Zero board that emulates one that also does not work on Steam (but does outside of it). Does it work on games outside of Steam?
Having the same issue. The furthest I have gotten was using xpad, but the controller appears as "generic controller" which causes the A and B / X and Y to be backwards and the triggers lose their analog input, making you press them down 100%.
Just editing to point out that the controller doesn't even show up in Steam's controller settings. It does elsewhere.
@iamshadow2008 Sorry I forgot to update this. I added the relevant IDs to xpad which allowed to work but I found xone project which works even better with controller after vendor ID was added. Both merge requests were merged. Have a look: https://github.com/medusalix/xone
This also appears to be a problem for me with a wired Pro2 controller for the switch and windows. The controller works fine in my system outside of steam using jtest but games launched in steam dont seem to be able to see it, while they see the other two controllers connected to the system.
Please see: https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev/issues/2#issuecomment-634142 on how to make it (mostly) work. (You don't need the udev rule!)
Basically you need start in B-Mode and set it up as generic controller in steam. If its shown as "X Box Controller" you need to change the layout and save again, as generic controller. After that it should work with steam-input everywhere.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I bought the controller which unfortunately doesn't work in Linux. The white status LED on the face of the controller flashes when the controller is plugged in and I get no form of input. Controller works as expected in Windows 10.
The controller shows up in dmesg with the following:
[ 2301.045005] usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
