  • Bluetooth controller input not recognized

    Hi,

    did you solve the problem? I had a similar problem with a Xiaomi BT Gamepad and the problem are these lines in the log:

    Code

    As you can see the gamepad is registered as mouse and as keyboard (for me it was joystick and keyboard) and thus a mouse event and a keyboard event are emitted at the same time. libinput apparently can't handle this and thinks the button bounced and tries to debounce, which does not work. In my case I wrote a udev rule to disable the libinput registration of the keyboard:

    Code
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ENV{DEVPATH}=="*2717:3144*",  ENV{LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE}="1"

    After that only the joystick was regognized and it works just fine. See Xiaomi bluetooth gamepad not working for further information.
