Description

Current Behaviour

Gyro isn't detected by default, however you can workaround this issue with HHD which emulates a Dualsense controller.

Expected Behaviour

Gyro gets detected with no additional software.

Additional Information

This problem is quite easily workaroundable with software that is otherwise also required for Steam to be able to detect Gyro for this device family (and I think also other handhelds) on Linux, so if reimplementing a whole piece of software made just for this purpose isn't among the goals of this mod, then I think this issue should be dismissed.

This issue should shed some more light on the reason for the current state of things, it might also help with understanding the situation of other handhelds when running Linux.

Lastly, if this is truly a Linux-handheld-wide problem, then it would be helpful to at least document it somewhere.

Just to make sure...
  • I have made sure I am using the latest version of Controlify for the latest version of Minecraft.
  • I have made sure there are no other issues describing the same problem on the issue tracker.
