The hori steam controller is not working properly on linux

Support Gaming
1

I verified that the controller works by booting my windows drive so I know it is linux. When connected with a wire the quick access button does not work in big picture mode, I am not getting an option to activate gyro by touching the joystick or getting the option to even calibrate the gyro. It is essentially treating it like it’s a standard xinput controller (it IS in steam mode).

When I try to connect via bluetooth my computer says that it is connected and the controllers bluetooth led stays lit up but steam is not registering the controller at all.

I ran both steam (native) and steam (runtime) and got the same result. I then tried switching to steam beta and that made zero difference. I even updated the controllers firmware to the latest version.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hopefully this helps.

Do you know if this hardware is compatible with Linux?

I do not know. It would be obvious for it to considering valve is pushing linux super hard right now. I’ve already contacted Hori support to see what they say about this. I’ll find out after new years.

Also, steam itself does show the picture of the actual controller. It just isn’t registering the extra buttons or the gyro.

A brief Internet search has revealed no specific incompatibilities with Linux. Perhaps you will be lucky to find a fellow forum User who happens to have this device, and might share their experience.

Please provide some system information; output of the following command formatted according to forum requirements; perhaps this will be useful for others wishing to help:

inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width

Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands when asked.

Regards.

I am unable to find this device in your inxi output. Something’s amiss. Please post the complete output of:

lsusb

Formatted in the same way as your inxi output, please.

I probably didn’t have it plugged in. I’ll do that now.

You do that, thank you!

Also provide the output of:

cat: /etc/udev/rules/50-horipad-steam.rules: No such file or directory

Looking in the file directory itself, I have a rules.d folder that is empty.

    ~  cat  /etc/udev/rules/50-horipad-steam.rules                                                    ✔ 
cat: /etc/udev/rules/50-horipad-steam.rules: No such file or directory

AHA! That might be it.

  1. Create the file:

    sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/50-horipad-steam.rules

  2. Edit it:

    sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-horipad-steam.rules

  3. Add the following lines:

    # Wired HORIPAD STEAM; USB
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*0F0D:01AB*", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0f0d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ab", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

Save, exit, reboot, replug and test.

touch: cannot touch '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-horipad-steam.rules': Permission denied

I tried adding sudo in a vain attempt but it also did not create the file. I tried it with the controller plugged in and also unplugged.

There is a new file, but when I do
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules/50-horipad-steam.rules
the konsole at the bottom says
[ Directory ‘/etc/udev/rules’ does not exist ]

The top of the konsole says
GNU nano 8.2 /etc/udev/rules/50-horipad-steam.rules

13

Oh, yeah. My bad. Forgot it should be:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-horipad-steam.rules

:blush:

14

My apologies, but I do not know how to save it in console. My guess is the hamburger icon and then Save output as… but I’m not going to do it just in case.

15

No. With nano, that I’ve specified to use, to save the file it’s Ctrl + O and to Exit, it’s Ctrl + X.

16

Rebooting and I’ll update this if it works.

If it didn’t work, try turning the controller off and on again…

18

It did work. Thank you very much for the help.
Is there anything I can do in the future to prevent stuff like this from happening?

Just remember to apply these settings in the case of needing to reinstall Manjaro.
