Hey, I’m needing some help getting my controller working in game.
It’s a Razer Wolverine V2 pro RZ06-0471. It has two switches on the back, I’m using it in ‘wireless’ (with the 2.4Ghz dongle) and ‘PC’ mode.
I’m running Fedora 42 with KDE
using steam with proton
Steam recognizes the controller and the device inputs all work fine when I use the input tester in the controller settings on steam. When I open up a game, however, the controller isn’t recognized. The glyphs are all showing mouse/keyboard icons.
Edit:
The issue was related to steam having been installed through the discover store (as a flatpak). Uninstalling the flatpak in the discover store, and then installing steam through the terminal (sudo dnf install steam) made the controller be recognized again no problem!
Its a command line/simple gui program- its in the software manager. I use it for making sure my controllers are reading right
Hmm, I didn’t see that program anywhere. I’m guessing I don’t have it or maybe I’m not looking in the right place?

Probably installed already,
Also is this steam flatpak or native ?
I had to install it, I don’t really understand how to use it yet.
It looks like I’m using the flatpak version, in the discover store.
Im not a liux pro but sometimes the flatpak versions of apps have issues because of permissions. Could try installing through terminal with sudo apt install steam
Hey, that did it!! Thank you!
Yay!! Im glad it worked.
Yeah for me it depends on the program, discord i use the flatpak because otherwise all the updates drive you insane. Steam ive always used the native install.
