    FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro now working for me. A few things that are needed:

    • Controller must be in PC/Dinput mode, blue led (hold O + A to switch)
    • Don’t enable the built in gyro mode in the Windows app as it might cause problems
    • Udev rule:

    KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2412", MODE="0666"

    (get the idVendor and idProduct from lsusb if you have a different controller)

    • Some (patched) versions of xpad/xpadneo might conflict with it. If you’re using the stock versions it should be okay.
    • Your user might need to be in the input group.

    One last thing that may or may not be needed is that I installed the SpaceStation app on Windows to test some things. It started working after that but I can’t recall if I force reloaded the udev rule so it might have just been the reboot that fixed it.

    Anyway, now I have gyro + all extra buttons working with Steam Input.

      I mean, they’re kinda working on it. It’s just not mature enough. Still many edgecases upstream Wine has to implement.

    I was just talking about those paddles yesterday. This is great news!

    Hopefully they add gyro support too

      Some users are reporting gyro working for some of the controllers. It’s early days anyway (I tested it and it’s all broken for me on the Vader 4 Pro).
