I have a fedora server running sway and sunshine. I'm having a problem where this rule (https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/8765bbf050a18dcaf441851e5e52505a6c709c48/src_assets/linux/misc/60-sunshine.rules) isn't firing, so the controller stays with root permissions instead of belonging to the input group and it messes things up. I'm not sure why it wont fire that rule.

What if you remove the ATTRS{name}=="Sunshine PS5 (virtual) pad" conditions? The rules seem to be about virtual controllers that would be created by Sunshine. Not about the physical controller itself.

The virtual controller is the problem. The physical controller never plugs into the host.
