Suggested configs for Wireless work for wired

[Rumbles]

I have just tried using the suggested steam string for my wired controller:

[ 40.205654] hid-generic 0003:2DC8:310A.0007: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [8BitDo 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired Controller] on usb-0000:00:14.0-3.2/input1

But it didn't fix the issue

I compiled the C and ran the program and it output the same string as the wireless example, so I tried that and it worked (I don't have a wireless controller, so no idea why that worked)

Not a major issue, but maybe worth nothing that the string does not always match the controller...

Regardless thanks for this, I was pulling my hair out as I can't get a modern pad that works on silksong/linux! Until now!!

Hi, I'm not sure I understand completely. The string you shared doesn't look like a controller config... which configuration was it that you tried?

Hi, no sorry, the string I shared was from lsusb, just to show you I'm using a wired pad The wired pad line didn't work for me, I had to use the wireless pad line. I first tried the wired pad line, when it didn't work. I compiled the c code and found the output was the same as the wireless pad line in your examples The wireless line seems to work for some wired pads too

OK gotcha. So when you said it was the same as the wireless pad line, did that include the name as well?

The wired config in question was added in #3 ... perhaps it could be some sort of version differences with SDL3?

I'll leave this issue open and people can upvote if they run into the same problem.

Yes, including the name, I have two of these pads, tried with both, they work fine if I use the wireless string in the game options, but if I use the wired string it doesn't fix the issue where the trigger toggles

Thanks again!
