Keyboard Input not working on Arch Linux / Steam with Das Keyboard
Hi team,
I believe my keyboard is being detected as a controller and I therefore have no ability to input into the game. This is an issue from boot on. I tried to change input but it does not detect keyboard or input at all. Only the mouse works.
I am running Arch Linux and my keyboard is a Das Keyboard Deltaforce 65. This setup works with other games.
Appreciate any help as I'm a huge fan of the game and would like to be able to play it on my new setup!

Gin Fuyou AdminHello. I'm not sure if devs could help with it, game is not officially supported on Linux (hopefully - not *yet*) and devs don't use linux machines actively I think. There are a lot of known players on Linux though (I'm using Manjaro) and it's first time I read a report keyboard not working at all. So it looks like a specific issue with your keyboard or distribution that's problematic to reproduce.
Maybe you should investigate the keyboard on linux resources yourself, if there is a hint what might be the cause if game a part in it - we can work with it. -

BenThanks! Agree that's its likely something on the Linux side but want to flag because of the lack of ability to disable the Steam Controller (which looks like may be out of dev control as well).
From looking into it most troubleshooting says to disable the steam Controller but even disabling controllers leaves the steam controller on. My current working theory is my KB is being detected as an unconfigured Steam controller which is blocking input. In-game or in steam settings there is no ability to toggle this
