Controller Vibration Issue on Linux

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with my Cosmic Byte Blitz controller on CachyOS. The controller is recognized and all buttons/axes are working as expected when tested with jstest /dev/input/js1. However, I’m not getting any vibration.

The controller’s USB ID is Vendor ID: 20bc, Product ID: 5001 (ShenZhen ShanWan Technology Co., Ltd. Gamepad). I also tried xone driver and firmware and it did not solve the issue.

System Information:

  • Distro: CachyOS (Arch Based)
  • Kernel: 6.15.3-3-cachyos
  • Controller Device Path: /dev/input/js1

Can any body help me with this?

Have tried with windows or other distros ?
Issue on both wireless and wired ?

Yes, works fine on windows. Did not test on other distros. I am going to stick with CachyOS though. It is just unbeatable according to me right now.

Could be compatibility issue I think on Linux. It supports wired mode right have you checked on that?

Similar issue with wired mode as well. Most of the important buttons and joysticks work but no rumble/vibration

Maybe try https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad to test everything functions incl vibration? If not then it’ll be compatible issue.

Yes, I tried that, it shows Vibration as N/A
