Hello @pablodav, thanks for the pull request. I take it you've tested these peripherals and found that these udev rules are needed to make them work? Can you elaborate on how this set of flight controls ties onto Steam and steam-input? We need the udev rules in 60-steam-input.rules for gamepads so that Steam Input could remap their input to a virtual controller, which is then feed into games.

If this was included, it may make sense for it to be separated into a new rules file, maybe 60-steam-misc.rules or 60-steam-joysticks.rules. I'll leave it up to someone else's judgement if this device is in or out of scope for this project. To me, It does feel distinctly different from the rest of what's in 60-steam-input.rules at least.

Hi @kisak-valve Yes I have tested it, I was looking into my devices ID connected and some other doc around, see this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/issues/22

It is working for me with no issues.

should I split it into others files?

thanks for the nice details, I will review if those rules are needed or not.
