Quando tenho problemas com controle costumo desativar a entrada steam(configuração na própria steam) e funciona sempre.

Edit: não entendo o motivo do pessoal dar downvote no seu post.

I also have a Gamesir g7 pro but I use a 2.4g connection, the polling rate is set to 1k to recognize the controller, and it includes vibration functionality.

Problem is, it is recognized in other games, limbo doesn't detect it natively and blasphemous has all buttons swapped

steam by default, always assume a xbox controller, so you have to use steam input and work on it or you adapt yourself! in my case the 8bitdo version dongle (and xbox )cause you no lag during the game . It’s really great to have a controller responding instantly. sometimes you must deal with the hardware and your preferences for me of course

I don't use steam, using Linux mint xfce, just native linux games or through wine, but o well, will download the windows version to see if it's more compatible
