Peripherals

There are other good resources for configuring and troubleshooting joysticks on Linux. To avoid a replication of those other resources, this section will be focused on getting peripherals running through Wine/Proton and cover common issues.

Permissions

Virtual Inputs

You may want to bind joystick controls to mouse buttons and key-presses. In Linux, the uinput module can be used to create virtual keyboards, mouses, and joysticks inputs.

Useful Applications

Some applications can read joystick inputs and configure virtual devices:

  • AntiMicroX - Maps controllers to mouse and keyboard buttons.
  • MoltenGamepad - Allows you to combine or split controllers into virtual gamepads.
