      Hello,

      Recently I’ve been trying to use my controllers to play games on my AntiX machine but they’re not working as expected. I expect them to just plug in, launch the game and work. I’ve tried this with SuperTux2 (from the repos) and Chiaki (AppImage) with the same results.

      Instead the left joysticks move my mouse on the screen and the A/X buttons map to left mouse click. When adding the DualSense by Bluetooth the system correctly identifies it on screen, but it still doesn’t work any different to when connected by USB.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated. Am I missing some package or is there something interfering with the controllers’ connection to the appropriate actions? I’ve got no idea.

        See if this works – it’s a tip from 2019 but may still be useful today:

          Great! Thank you so much. That stopped the mouse moving. For some reason, the system no longer recognises controllers plugged in via USB, but they still work when connected through Bluetooth so that’s good enough for me. Thanks again for your help!
