Description

On Linux (CachyOS), since the SDL3 update, whenever I connect my dualsense edge controller via USB and launch retroarch, the LED on the controller changes to red. I would like a way to configure this, either via a menu item in controller config or some lines in a config file.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the SDL3 DualSense LED handling and the controller configuration entry points, then determine how a configurable color should be exposed. Done means the LED color can be selected through the proposed menu or configuration path when RetroArch launches.
