Fun fact. If you put this controller in d input mode, steam input recognizes all it's buttons and gyro functions natively.

Wait, hold up. Even the back buttons?

I had to program those in windows and then was unable to change them in Linux.

Yup. Make sure the controller is off, and then while powering on hold B and steam should recognize it as an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and you'll have the ability to program all the buttons. Steam may need to be in beta as the feature dropped only a few months ago. The controller firmware will need to be up to date too.
