8BitDo control does not work

I'm having trouble getting my 8BitDo controller to work on Zorin.

I'm using Steam to play, and it recognizes the controller, but when I enter the game, the controller doesn't work.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get it working?

My controller is an 8BitDo Pro 2 Wired Controller.

Thank you!

Hi, and welcome to the forums!

Since it's already recognizing the device, you might want to try following these instructions:

Otherwise, that same project has some downloads available to set it up and that may work for you. Follow the instructions under "Others":

Just out of curiosity, if you have somewhere else you play games (such as heroic launcher or lutris, or just a random other 3d game outside of steam) does the controller work natively then? Sometimes I have issues with steam play and their configuration support screwing things around, so I oftentimes turn it off to make it work properly.

Usually steam is pretty good, but sometimes it can cause more headaches than it solves.
