Warning! When I first did rpi-update on my Pi4 they had recently switched to the 5.4 branch and it didn't add kernel7l to /boot and I had to add this file manually. Or by downloading the newest firmware and installing to /boot manually. Raspbian haven't updated the kernel package, but it can be done with rpi-update.
#INSTALL STEAM CONTROLLER MANUAL#
Going back to "a little manual editing of es_input.cfg": How did you figure out the right values to go into es_input.cfg? mapping buttons through the EmulationStation UI is broken left d-pad up/down is recorded as "Hat 0 Right" and "Hat 0 Left" respectively, hat left/right, and left d-pad left/right register as "already taken", etc. That's most of my issues right there, so high-five to you sir. SteamLink detects the controller as a Steam Controller, and the controller re-connects after power cycling without issue. I used rpi-update and EmulationStation detected the Steam Controller as a Steam Controller I was able to map some buttons. With a little manual editing of es_input.cfg it works perfectly without the CPU overhead and general clunkiness of the python based steamcontroller solution included with RetroPie.

The newer rpi-5.4.y kernel includes the hid-steam kernel module that provides a native driver for the steamcontroller. I'd love to get this working and help contribute a special page on the Wiki for the Steam Controller. I'm pretty good with Linux, though I'm not a programmer. thoughts/advice/suggestions? I'm happy to test experimental/dev patches. Full output of my attempt is here you can see me finding the controller, marking it as trusted, and pairing failing. I tried to pair the controller manually with bluetoothctl but again no bueno. Watching bluetoothctl in an SSH session as I was testing there were plenty of messages, but no pairing, and the controller isn't seen by EmulationStation. < LE D8:F0:EE:59:AD:1F handle 64 state 1 1m MAST 1m MASTER
#INSTALL STEAM CONTROLLER BLUETOOTH#
When I go back to "Display Registered & Connected Bluetooth Devices" though, I see the Steam Controller is "connected" Registered Devices: (Creating device failed: : Authentication Canceled) Using the retropie_setup.sh scrip invariably I get the following message regardless of what security option I choose: An error occurred connecting to the bluetooth device Unfortunately my SteamController doesn't pair. Thinking that maybe things would work better if the Steam Controller were paired with the Pi using BLE, I tried that route. When the controller is in its "not detected" state, SteamLink doesn't see it either.I can restore it with a bit of effort: power off the Steam Controller, unplug the dongle, powering on the Steam Controller, and in the few seconds before the controller auto shuts off (due to not having its receiver plugged in), plug in the receiver. When I power cycle the Steam Controller, the Pi loses the connection and it doesn't come back.When I'm in SteamLink, the controller is detected as a Microsoft XBox 360 controller, not the Steam Controller (problematic b/c when playing games through Steam, having the extra buttons the Steam Controller provides is needed).
