Controller Input Inconsistency | Linux
I'm trying to play rocket League through heroic on Linux (flatpak install). Everything is updated correctly from what I've been able to tell.
The issue I'm running into is that
-my right stick does not seem to be recognized
-my triggers are being recognized as the x and y axis of my right stick, respectively
-my bumpers are being detected as my start and select buttons.
Can someone explain to me how I am meant to setup my controller bindings as I am completely lost and the key binds page in rocket League is not what I need to use to fix this

This issue does not seem to be limited to just rocket league
I have updated the name as the triggers are showing the same results when using the controller to navigate through the heroic launcher

what controller?

SCUF Envision Pro
Using the wired connection as I can't be bothered with the dongle

for a third party controller that isn't for one of the consoles, I would look into what its input method is

Any recommendations on places to look, I'm still very new to linux

It wasn’t obvious from the specs on their website, but I wasn’t able to do a particularly deep dive this morning
(Xinput support is what you want to be looking for for the most reliable and consistent support in modern games)

Is that as simple as running a
sudo pacman -S xinput or is it some AUR or flatpak install?

No, I mean your controller has to support XInput. wine/proton handle the API software side

Hmmm let me see what I can find then
After doing some more research, it looks like it's a Corsair/SCUF issue as the controller, while it supports xinput, requires iCue software to remap anything so it will be stuck broken until I have that software.

Don't worry I feel the same way
They even said they will not be supporting Linux with this controller, so guess I need to find a new controller if I want to fully switch to linux

you can try to leverage Steam input by running the game through a Steam shortcut
otherwise, if you're going 3rd party, 8bitdo stuff works just fine in Linux because they generally use xinput for 2.4 mode or Switch for BT mode

Yeah, I tried this, but even steam input couldn't fix the issue😭
OO thank you for the rec!
