i encountered a fun bug with the steam controller this last couple of days... idk, maybe it's some update in the libinput library for X or something, and maybe it doesn't affect wayland... not even sure that wayland has its own input system though

the problem that happens is it's like the shift key is stuck down... unplugging the steam controller radio dongle doesn't fix it, shutting down steam doesn't fix it... 

oddly enough the fix that seemed to work without forcing me to restart X (which i wasn't gonna do because of needing to finish a long running process on a very big file, recent prior post discusses that) was to simply plug the controller in via cable

managed to string together a load of USB extensions that put the controller far enough away that i can sit comfy in my couch and play Kingdom Two Crowns with it, without it breaking my X session

i hope these fuckers will fix their goddamn driver soon

i don't even get how this shiot happens since after all it's just a fucking serial fucking port. pathetic.
