@qlp You may need to use the new usbhid driver early at boot.

Try with adding in /boot/loader.conf the line: hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1, and do as root sysrc kld_list+= " hgame hms hcons hidraw"

Once this is done, add this files /usr/local/etc/devd/steamdeck.conf (change steamvendor and steamdeckgamepad with the correct value)

[#] steam deck controller
notify 100 {
	match "system"		"USB";
	match "subsystem"	"INTERFACE";
	match "type"		"ATTACH";
	match "vendor"		"steamvendor";
        match "product"            "steamdeckgamepad";
	action "chmod g+rw /dev/$cdev; chmod +r /dev/$cdev;chown :games  /dev/$cdev";
};

To find the idVendor and idProduct, use usbconfig -v as root, and then look for the value of idVendor and idProduct associated to the steam deck controller.

Add your user to the games groups.

Enable devd if it is not already done, sysrc devd_enable="YES"

Then, assuming you are using the latest repository for pkg, install controllermap.

Reboot

Then run testgamecontroller and see if it shows up.
