Fuck yes, I can finally get back paddles and full Steam Input support without selling my kidney. Eat your heart and your expensive ass DualSense Edge out, Sony

That's weird, I already could bind them (8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless connected via Bluetooth). Gyro also works on the beta update.

The only feature missing at this point is the ability to wake up my steam deck LCD with Bluetooth :P

Edit: oh no, the update reversed the button glyphs, and if I change it to "Nintendo mode" it reverses the functionality as well lmao. Oh well, hope they change it back.

Great news, this was the reason I hadn't bought an 8bitdo, the back paddles would have been useless without the ability to rebind them on steam, now I'll probably get one at some point.

Oh this is fantastic. I can finally bind the paddle buttons with Steam.

Now we just need Valve to convince 8bitdo to start working with lvfs again

That's cool! I love my 8bitdo controller.

FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro now working for me. A few things that are needed:

• Controller must be in PC/Dinput mode, blue led (hold O + A to switch)
• Don't enable the built in gyro mode in the Windows app as it might cause problems
• Udev rule:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2412", MODE="0666"

(get the idVendor and idProduct from lsusb if you have a different controller)

• Some (patched) versions of xpad/xpadneo might conflict with it. If you're using the stock versions it should be okay.
• Your user might need to be in the input group.

One last thing that may or may not be needed is that I installed the SpaceStation app on Windows to test some things. It started working after that but I can't recall if I force reloaded the udev rule so it might have just been the reboot that fixed it.

Anyway, now I have gyro + all extra buttons working with Steam Input.

I would appreciate wayland support in proton and a switch to use it per game.

No gyro support? ;_;
