Is it possible to have a USB controller (8BitDo Pro 2) polled every
second or so with a udev rule? Or through some other mechanism?
This controller has a quirk where it disconnects every 4 seconds or so
and rubmbles when it does so. It also changes device number when this
happens. It does this because it tries to auto-detects the kind of
system it has been plugged into (like an XBox, Android, a Nintendo
Switch, whatever.)
Support for this controller was added in kernel 6.3 or so, but the
support is extremely half-assed because it doesn't deal with this
specific quirk. Currently on 6.6.9 here but this was never fixed.
I do not have this issue. I have the switch on the back of the
controller set to the X position and just connect over bluethooth
without any issues.
https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev I do have these udev
rules installed, unsure if they fix the issue you're talking about.
