Steam Controller BLE
When connecting my steam controller over bluetooth to my Manjaro KDE plasma system: AMD cpu, Nvidia graphics, the steam controller doesn't appear in the controllers list on the steam client. It also causes the Steam Client to become unstable and requires me to manually terminate steam.

It works fine plugged in, or with the dongle.

Do I need to update the firmware? It was working fine some months back. The tool to do it seems to be windows only.

I'm not familiar with Manjaro, but can it compile packages from the Arch User Repository? If so you might want to look there for a specific driver as its compatibility will be tailored to Arch/Arch-based distributions.

It does. I found a standalone driver and GUI called sc-controller. The tool recognizes my steam controller and allows me to configure it over BLE. However when I load steam, the same thing happens. The client becomes unstable. I wasn't able to actually get into the controller menu this time, but the client resolved itself when I turned the controller off.

I would guess this is an Issue with steam. I am even having issues with the steam deck controller showing up in some games on Steam OS.

sc-controller is a fantastic bit of software. Love it! Especially useful when using the Steam Controller with games from outside the Steam ecosystem (Heroic launcher, GOG, Lutris, Bottles, etc) without adding said games directly to Steam itself. Also nice for using the Steam Controller with certain non-games (tools) where a fancy controller might be more effective than a mouse.
