[gentoo-user] udev rule for periodic polling of USB gamepad?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

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.
