Can't get my Hori RAP N to be recognized as a gamepad

For anyone that may see this in the future, I found out what was causing my issue. Apparently I had too many USB devices plugged in and there was not enough bandwidth to handle all of them. If you are having a similar issue, here is how you can see if it can be fixed in the same way (removing some USB devices)

  1. Unplug the device from computer (If already unplugged, you can skip this step if you like to live life on the edge)
  2. Open Konsole (ctrl+alt+t by default)
  3. Type sudo dmesg -w
  4. If you were having the same issue I was, as soon as you plug in your device it will output something similar to this:
  • 48231.986350] usb 7-2: new full-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd

[48232.145800] usb 7-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0f0d, idProduct=00ae, bcdDevice= 1.14

[48232.145803] usb 7-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[48232.145805] usb 7-2: Product: RAP.N4

[48232.145806] usb 7-2: Manufacturer: HORI CO.,LTD.

[48232.145807] usb 7-2: SerialNumber: F24E8140

> [48232.146079] usb 7-2: Not enough bandwidth for new device state.

> [48232.146142] usb 7-2: can’t set config #1, error -28

which means you should be able to fix it immediately by removing other devices. I hope this helps! My stick is working natively now.
