sc-controller VS OpenSteamController

https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller has been my best friend in getting controllers working properly

I haven't figure out how to intall sc-controller on latest fedora. I reported a bug on the github but I wanted to ask in this subreddit too, just in case anyone here has a solution.

third - sc controller

you appear to be missing some dependencies. Make sure that you have all of the build dependencies installed to build this program. They are listed here.

So with drivers it's easy to give gryo data to Linux, and Linux to expose it to games, but games don't always know what to do with it. The current workaround has always been a tool like Steam Input, or the open source sc-controller, that takes the gyro data, combines it with the old school gamepad data, and emulates an Xbox 360 controller with it.

The only thing I can think of, left to try is: https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

But in the end I ended up buying PS4 pad. * A big selling point for me was that it has gyro. You can set it up as mouse input (in Steam controller settings for the game or something like sc-controller. I'm sure there is something similar for Windows too) and that way use for precise movements * The mouse pad in the middle is nice too * I'm not sure if these measurements are still true after 4 years but it seems it has the lowest input lag when used via BT

I don't know about the state of Windows support, but for Linux users the fork at https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller is preferable. Ported to Python 3 (upstream is still sitting on EOL'd Python 2 due to kozec preferring a C port) as well as some bugfixes. I use it for any non-Steam games (Epic, Uplay, Origin, GOG).

SC-Controller should fit your use-case.

The OpenSteamController project. The down side is that it’s got a todo list and no updates in 4 years

However, there's an open source project that enables the controller to function on the Switch through cable, basically flashing the controller's firmware so it functions as a generic wired USB controller compatible with the Switch. You can check a video here. I'm not sure if the bluetooth angle would be able to be rewritten so it mimics a Switch Pro Controller or a generic Xinput controller so it can be synced to the 8bitdo dongle tho.

Your understanding is completely wrong, but your conclusion is not.

Here's how I did it last time: https://github.com/greggersaurus/OpenSteamController/blob/master/LoadingFirmware.md

Googling around I saw this post addressing bricked controllers and linking to Valve's Master Firmware list, but the link is dead. Continued googling and found this (Github), telling me to hold down the right trigger all the way which will "activate the USB In-System Programming for the LPC11U37F", but it doesn't.

Did you look up schematics of the steam controller? I suspect the interface to the device controls on the deck will run through USB and be an iteration of the steam controller. https://github.com/greggersaurus/OpenSteamController/blob/master/ReverseEngineering/Luna_maiboard_V000456-00_rev3.md would suggest two pins unused/undetermined. Yes, it's an input device and would require driver/firmware changes, but as long as hardware capability is there, the rest is a software problem.

While it would be theoretically possible to rewrite the firmware (the OpenSteamController project is just this), we've run into this weird situation that, because the SC itself is discontinued, I don't think very many people that would otherwise be willing/wanting to work on such a thing wants to risk bricking their controllers.

It actually is possible to do it. What I did is flashed my steam controller with a custom firmware from the OpenSteamController project. https://github.com/greggersaurus/OpenSteamController/tree/master/Firmware
