If I turn my controller on, it won’t connect. But if it’s on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows”. It’s possible it’s actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn’t say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don’t think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.

    I’d start by comparing the following in the working vs non-working cases:

    1. Is there a corresponding /dev/input/js* device?
    2. If it’s there in both cases, any difference in permissions? Check both regular Unix perms using ls -l or stat and ACLs using getfacl
