xpadneo VS input-remapper

In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

2) install https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.

You can try this custom mapping from xpadneo: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/SDL.md

I got my G29 working, but I am using a T-LCM which isn't correctly recognized. I installed Input Remapper but it's not recognized.

Perhaps GitHub - sezanzeb/input-remapper: 🎮 ⌨ An easy to use tool to change the behaviour of your input devices. will do?

OK, I will byte, have you tried Input Remapper[1] ?

I think most of your problem is coming from using Rocky Linux, it is much easier to find support on Ubuntu derivatives for tools made by the community in general.

- Input Remapper: Custom hotkeys & remapping of keys (with Wayland support)

Then you can use something like input-remapper to do whatever you want.

Ask upstream?

However I want my system to be automatically remapped at boot. Input Remapper installs a systemd service by default and I found that someone wrote an OpenRC init script for it, so I created a file called input-remapper in etc/init.d, copied the text of the script into it, saved it, then used chmod +x on it, so it has the same attributes as other init scripts.
