Hi all. I am getting sick of the stick drift on the Xbox and PlayStation controllers, so I’ve started looking into 3rd party controllers with hall effect. Two kept popping up, flydigi and 8bitdo. If anyone owns one of these, how’s their support on Linux? Do they work out of the box? Just plug in the dongle and you’re good to go? Are they stable? I don’t ever use any other buttons than the main ones, so I think won’t need their software. Unless even the main ones needs programming! Do they? Thanks in advance
I don’t remember all the steps, but it had nothing to do with the controller itself.
I had to edit system configuration - I entered the identifier of the motherboard USB device, and I told the system to allow it to wake the system from sleep. I’d have to search for the actual steps.
Man, that would be great if you could find the steps. I’ve tried doing that, but it failed. I even tried to find it in the BIOS and found nothing.
It’s not in the bios, it’s a system configuration.

Here you go, I found the links I started from. I’m on Bazzite, but Fedora and Debian seem to work similarly around this.
Edit to add: I just looked up Cachy, I see that it’s Arch. I’m not sure if Arch configures this in the same way, but hopefully this will at least lead you In the right direction.
Thank you so much. Saving this comment. I really appreciate it. And if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work, I don’t care. I’ll be switching my son’s PC to be a bazzite console soon, so this comment will definitely not go to waste. <3
