  • Ok, I don't know if I need any introduction to the subject, but as some users and myself the 8BitDo Pro2 Wired Controller doesn't connect properly with the Steam Deck. u/yossariano mentioned here that they could make it work using the xone linux kernel, but me as a total noob on linux had some difficulties setting this up, so I wanted to write this guide to help other noobs as me.
