[Steam] Reconnecting a custom controller?

General system Gaming, sound and video
1

Hey all!

I have a custom fightstick controller. I’ve made new udev rules so steam can see it correctly, and it does.

However, if I unplug the controller from the USB port, when I replug it in, Steam doesn’t see it. It appears correctly when I check lsusb, but Steam doesn’t see it.

I can restart Steam, no joy.
I’ve tried sudo udevadm trigger, and other such udevadm commands, but no joy.

The only way I can get Steam to pick it up again, is with a reboot.

Is there any way to get Steam to pick it up again without having to reboot all the time?

Note that I don’t have this issue with my Steam Controller, but that may be because the dongle is always plugged in.

Thanks!

There’s a game-devices-udev package in the AUR which might be useful here.
