# The pad exposes three HID interfaces (IF1 vendor 0xffa0, IF2 Mouse, IF3
# vendor 0xffee), each producing a hidraw node via hid-generic. padctl claims
# all three so the kernel exposes no hidraw/evdev node for the physical pad;
# Steam reads hidraw directly, so any kernel-owned node would still surface
# the pad as a generic Xbox controller. IF1 is read for input + rumble + init;
# IF2/IF3 are claimed suppress-only — never read or written, only evicted from
# hid-generic so their hidraw nodes vanish.
block_kernel_drivers = ["xpad"]

# The pad exposes a vendor interface (IF0, no driver) plus three HID interfaces
# (IF1 input, IF2 mouse, IF3 vendor HID). padctl claims IF1 via libusb (read EP
# 0x82 / write EP 0x06) and IF2/IF3 suppress-only; libusb_claim detaches the
# kernel HID driver, so their hidraw nodes vanish and Steam sees only the
# virtual Elite pad. Only xpad is blocked at udev — hid_generic/usbhid must keep
# binding so a hidraw node exists for discovery before padctl claims it.
