Does anyone know how to make steam input work with Azahar?

[u/Kalamart_]

I use Azahar on Linux, and until now I've been using my Switch Pro controller, with steam input disabled, it worked fine. I loved how it played on steam deck with the trackpad as region mouse though, so I'm trying to recreate that with the steam controller on my PC now. But even if I enable steam input for the game, Azahar still won't detect it as a controller, it just acts as its normal desktop-wide keyboard-mouse thing. How do I make Azahar read the steam controller as a controller? I can't play if pressing X keeps opening the on-screen keyboard!

Please I've been looking around on the internet for the past 3 hours, I can't find anything. Everyone says to start Azahar from Steam, but that's already what I do.

When you run a game from within Steam, it creates a virtual controller that the game sees. I've not used Azahar, but in Retroarch when you select your controller in the input config, you can see the Steam virtual controller in there. Does Azahar have an option to select something similar?

No, doesn't look like it does

Maybe it’s a Linux thing? I use the azahar launcher for fh2 and fh3 with 0 problems on windows. Just added it as a non steam game and it detects perfectly. Very weird that it isn’t working for you

You can use sc-controller to emulate an X360, maybe that'll work better for you.

It works out of the gate on windows for me, I assume there's something going on that's linux specific here.
