• Opted into Steam client beta?: [No] - Have tried with no affect
• Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes]

Over the last few months, GameSir T4w controllers do not work. I have swapped out 2 to 3 GameSir Controllers and tried old Logitech controllers like F310. The big screen overlay sees the game controller with Xbox support on. But now I am getting this (See Example A) when I open the controller support option in proton games.

The controllers on multiple computers are showing me the same error as seen in this picture (See Example A). Depending on the Steam updates since the summer of 2022, I am getting odd to breaking behaviour for game controllers. All the hardware is fine as it work flawless in Win 11, it has to be configuration issue.

I have tried reinstalling steam, deleting the game library, removing the steam folder from the home folder, trying different hardware configuration, changing kernels, and adjusting steam settings. The game controllers work in Linux games like Stardew Valley, game emulators like PCSX2, and Crossover Linux.

Example A:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Have GameSir T4w plugged into sabrent USB hub.
2. Run Steam at start up or launch manually
3. Proton Games have no controller detected

Start by reproducing the issue with the GameSir T4w and Logitech F310 using the listed Steam and Proton setup, following the three reproduction steps. Compare Proton games with the working Linux games and emulators; done means the controller is detected in Proton games. No source file or test is identified in the report.
