If it works in Steam but not in game, maybe try double checking that you've enabled Steam Input for the game. It should be in the settings menu in the game's library page!
Yes, I've tried with and without steam input enabled. The issue persists regardless of that setting.
Have you tried just turning steam input off? It sounds like you have the controller mapped for kb+m, which is the basic default for steam input.
I have tried with steam input off, yes. Same issue, no recognition. I don't think the controller is giving kb+m inputs, I think those are the only controls showing up because the controller isn't being recognized/prioritized by the game somehow but my kb+m is.
Couldn't hurt to try tweaking udev rules.
Others for Fedora/etc:
This looks complicated to me, and my understanding of it is very limited. Is there a guide or something for exactly what I would need to do and how to do it?
I didn't see my specific device listed under the razer controllers rules, I don't know if that would matter or not.
Will js.test show it ?
Sorry, I'm not familiar. Is this a command to run, or something similar?
Its a command line/simple gui program- its in the software manager. I use it for making sure my controllers are reading right
Hmm, I didn't see that program anywhere. I'm guessing I don't have it or maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

Probably installed already,
Also is this steam flatpak or native ?
I had to install it, I don't really understand how to use it yet.
It looks like I'm using the flatpak version, in the discover store.
Im not a liux pro but sometimes the flatpak versions of apps have issues because of permissions. Could try installing through terminal with sudo apt install steam
Hey, that did it!! Thank you!
Yay!! Im glad it worked.
Yeah for me it depends on the program, discord i use the flatpak because otherwise all the updates drive you insane. Steam ive always used the native install.
