I have an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller I’ve used a bunch without issue on Windows, now I’m moving to Linux (Mint specifically) and I’m having trouble getting the controller to work. It’s supposed to work with Linux, but I can’t get it to work. Steam doesn’t detect the controller in its settings.
Mine works on PopOS which is also Debian/Ubuntu like Mint. There are some instructions here that may help. https://www.8bitdo.com/steam/#pro2-popup
The only thing in that guide that worked was the tip to connect it by cable
