[REQUEST] Valve Steam Deck controller driver support? about peripheral.steamcontroller HOT 4 OPEN

Guess who just got the 1TB OLED steam deck and is already compiling Kodi? 🙂

Here is a few projects I found related to creating a stand-alone Steam Deck controller driver.

Steamdeck WIndows Controller Driver (SWICD) - work in progress to map Steam Deck controller to Xbox 360 game controller:

SC Controller (and forks) - Updated User-mode driver, mapper and GTK3 based GUI for the Steam Controller

(Windows) Steam Deck Tools Steam Controller - use Steam Deck with Game Pass

LibreELEC and similar OS distribution projects might also be interested in this for research purposes:

@garbear FYI, read in the LibreELEC (Nexus) 11.0 release news on phoronix.com that it mentions "Steam Deck controls support":

However, LibreELEC (Nexus) 11.0 release announcement on the official libreelec.tv website does not mention Steam Deck control:

PS: Also noticed there is a thread on the Kodi forum in the hardware showcase subforum about running Kodi on the Steam Deck:

I stopped working on a kodi-space Steam Desk driver because it's more valuable to the world to support Steam Desk at an OS level. If there's OS support for steak deck, that means to uses the joystick API, and can be used in Kodi without extra effort on our end.
