I have two systems I've done fresh, clean installs of 15.10 on, as well
as my father who has a new 15.10 himself. In all three cases, the Steam
controller would work as an HID device, but was incapable of pairing or
acting like a gamepad. Essentially, I have a few cases where this change
does not allow the controller to work out of the box.

After many hours of frustrated rule file changing (I'm not terribly
familiar with udev), the fix I happened upon was to change the second
instance of idVendor from ATTRS to idProduct, since the two differing
ids are product ids and not vendor ids. The result was the attached
gist/file. In all three cases, this immediately fixed the problem after
unplugging/re-plugging the device. (Both wired and via the wireless
receiver.)
