Switch Pro Controller not working properly on linux.

[PixelCat]

Here's my problem with my Switch Pro Controller than i'm trying to play with on linux, to be precise on Nobara Linux who is a fork of Fedora but anyway.

When I plug in my controller either cabled or by bluetooth my controller die when Steam try to convert it to a Xbox controller.

I used jstest-gtk to figure out if my controller was working and when i connect my controller when steam is not launched, it works just fine, my joysticks are precise as always and all buttons works.
But at the time I launch Steam and it tries to switch convert it to a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller as detected by jstest-gtk, everything's broken, and nothing move even after closing steam, and i have to disconnect it to make it work again out of steam.

Thank you for your help.

In my case, it was solved by adding the following UDEV rules:

# STEAM Controller Rules
# Nintendo Switch Pro Controller over bluetooth hidraw
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*057E:2009*", MODE="0666"


I've noticed that the device was being paired and mapped to /dev/input/js0, and permissions+ownership were root:input 600, making it technically only accessible to the root user

After that rule and reloading UDEV rules with "udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger" as root, I was able to see the controller on Steam as well
