This bug is specifically about the steam controller when only the snap version of steam is installed.
@UnrealisticDino is this still an issue with the current version of the Snap? We should have fixed a huge portion of controller problems. I happen to have a Steam controller too (with the included USB dongle) and have been able to use it just fine in Apex Legends, including changing the controller layout.
If it's no longer an issue, please close this issue. If it still is, make sure joystick
and uinput
plugs are connected, failing that, try installing steam-devices
, e.g. sudo apt install --no-install-recommends steam-devices
.
I'll try to report back by tomorrow, but if I don't I will by the end of a week.

I'm having the same issue on my pc and just to double check did a clean install of ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop. I did run sudo apt install --no-install-recommends steam-devices on both even though I already had steam devices installed on my pc. Use any connected joystick and uinput: allows access to the uinput device are both enabled and are enabled by default. Installing steam devices used to fix this issue which is why I said when only the snap version of steam is installed. I really should have been more clear about that looking back.
Does having the Steam deb installed still "fix" the issue for you?
No. I remember that having the deb version installed made it so that the snap version could recognize that the steam controller was plugged in but now it shows that no controller is detected. I also remember that just having the deb installed fixed it but the deb did not have to be running. There are bigger issues to be fixed so don't mind if this is not a priority.
I was unable to get Steam to recognise my steam controller at all - although I was able to use to navigate around steam itself. I've been trying to get this working on and off for a few days. I had the relevant plugs connected to the snap and steam-devices installed.
After reading this I installed the .deb and I was able to connect it straight away.
I've uninstalled the snap for now.
