Steam Link

Controller not working in Steamlink

Hello!

I've just set up Steam Link on my x86 Linux machine (Arch) and it loads up just fine but no button presses on my controllers are recognized.

I tried both an Xbox 360 Wired Controller and an Xbox One Wireless Controller (plugged in via USB).

I got past the initial setup by plugging in a keyboard and using that to connect Steam Link to my home PC with Steam on it.

  • Both controllers are recognized by Steam Link (green checkmark)
  • Both controllers are recognized by Linux
  • The controllers are accessible by the user running Steam Link. I verified this by running "cat /dev/input/js0" and I could see output every time I pressed buttons
  • On the launch screen of Steam Link, no button presses register. I can press all buttons, but nothing happens. Using a keyboard, I made it past this screen into Big Picture, but no buttons were recognized there as well.
  • I tried both the flatpak version as well as directly running on my system, both versions have the same issue
  • The log output of Steam Link says that it found my controller and displays its button mapping.

I am running out of ideas on how to debug this further. Anyone got any ideas?

I’m having an issue in Debian where over steam link the controller on my phone works for the menu but as soon as a game launches no dice. Even if I go over to the host machine and move the mouse etc I can’t get the phone controller to pick up.
