I recently bought a SN30 Pro 2 controller from 8bitdo. They claimed to support the Steam Deck so I thought I could flawlessly pair it to my PC running Pop OS. I was able to get it to "connect", but none of buttons would register (only on XInput mode, nothing would happen in DInput mode). My bluetooth adapter works just fine.

Go to your games library, right click the game and select properties, select controller, then change it from 'use default settings' to 'enable steam input'. Also just use the x-input option on the back. You'll have to do that for each game you use that controller on. this enables 'generic controller' support.

Already tried that. Maybe I should switch to SteamOS

It's based on Ubuntu and was supposed to have support for a lot of devices out of the box.
