Description
Controller name
The discontinued Steam Controller of ancient times that I cling to desperately because it's the only controller I've found that doesn't hurt my hands to use for more than an hour at a time.
Issue
Controlify does not detect the controller through the steam controller's wireless adaptor, which is by itself fine (unsupported is unsupported), but attempting to circumnavigate the problem by plugging it into the computer using a wired usb connection the game to crash, generating this crash report:
crash-2024-02-04_15.07.48-client.txt
Attempting to relaunch the game with the controller plugged in didn't immediately crash the game, but the controlify didnt recognize the controller, and unplugging it and plugging it back in caused a crash that generating no new crash report and just spit out exit code -805306369, which Mojang of Microsoft say is most often caused by the game running out of memory.
Was running a fresh install of minecraft 1.20.4 through a fresh fabric loader with just Controlify and the listed dependancies installed; OS is windows 11; java version is up to date.

Research direction
Start with the linked crash report and reproduce the wired Steam Controller behavior on Minecraft 1.20.4 with Fabric, Controlify, and its listed dependencies on Windows 11. Compare launch and reconnect behavior; done means the controller no longer crashes the game and its wired support status is established.
