steamctrl - Utility to setup Valve Steam Controller
This utility is meant to be used with the hid-steam Linux driver. It can be used to disable and the mouse/keyboard emulation, as well as setup a few other parameters.
If you want to run it automatically upon connection you can use a udev rule such as the following:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTR{uniq}=="?*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", RUN+="/usr/bin/steamctrl -s $attr{uniq} disable_keys_cursor disable_mouse
But note that this rule will not work without the hid-steam driver, because it relies on the UNIQ value, and hid-generic doesn't set it.
Maybe you noticed that there are a few missing commands, for example, there is 'disable_keys_cursor' and 'disable_cursor', but not 'disable_keys'. I just don't know how to do them.
If you know more about this kind of commands, please send a note to one of these:
