Using a MadCatz Arcade Stick, Mumble does not accept any input from this Xbox peripheral.

I'm using Mumble 1.3.0 rc2 on Manjaro. Faintly remember an issue created about this years ago but I'm unable to find it.

@keenanweaver are you also using Linux? Are you using X11 or Wayland?

Correct, on Linux. Currently using Wayland, but the issue has been occurring for me on X11 for as long as I've used Linux (3-4 years). Not a problem on Windows.

I need other command other than defined in RPC, so my current workaround:

Run mumble client in X11 with XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 (because of #5257)
Use https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper to remap controller buttons to keyboard keys
Bind the remapped keyboard keys as shortcuts
