dualshock 4 on Arch
I can't get my DualShock 4 controllers to work on Arch without ds4drv. I am pretty sure this method isn't required anymore, because the dualshock 4 work just fine on NixOS. What am I missing? Do I need to load modules? Specific kernel or Bluetooth package? I am running the latest zen kernel with Nvidia. Same hardware as my old NixOS.
I don't really play on my computer, so never tried it, but have you checked the Arch wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad Does it help?
I have all the modules and software needed. I will look up the bluez version and compile flags/patches that NixOS uses
It works with Steam out of the box, without installing anything.
It works out of the box for me. You may need to enable Steam Input for Playstation controllers in the Steam settings in order to get it to work inside games.
could also be an issue with the user not being part of the proper group (in this case 'input') check out this wiki entry regarding groups: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Users_and_groups
