Someone has built a nice FOSS (GPLv2) driver with a GUI for the Steam
controller.

It would be nice to have a package of it:

https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

NB: It is already packaged as a .deb by the OpenSUSE Build Service, but
I'm not sure if that respects Debian's packaging guidelines.

For what it's worth, I too am interested in having this packaged in the official Debian repositories.

   Description     : User-mode driver, mapper and GUI for Steam
Controller and other gamepads

sc-controller is a user-mode driver and GTK3-based GUI for the Steam
Controller, DualShock 4, DualSense, and other gamepads. It allows
these controllers to be used without the Steam client, providing
custom input mapping, gyroscope support, trackpad configuration,
profile switching, and Xbox 360 controller emulation.

This is an actively maintained fork (C0rn3j/sc-controller) of the
original kozec/sc-controller project.

One runtime dependency, python3-ioctl-opt, is not yet in Debian and
will be packaged as a prerequisite.

I will need a sponsor.
