> @yardas, would you be willing to try just adding the new hwdb rules to
e.g. /etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-joystick.rules? Then run systemd-hwdb update,
and see if it's fixed?
That's the way how I created the systemd pull requests. Unfortunately, I do not have the vrc-3nt dongle any more, but I can still test with the Phoenix dongle. The following is the /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-input-id-local.rules (the name doesn't matter) I provided to my friend and he is using for few weeks with the vrc-3nt and Phoenix dongles:
https://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/vrc/61-input-id-local.hwdb
Although unrelated to this bug, the systemd PRs also fixed the problem
on my steamdeck :) The fixes were accepted and merged by the systemd
upstream, and it will get to the next Ubuntu and other distros, so the
backport to 24.10 is now low prio, nice to have.

Title:
vrc-3nt joystick dongle is not working in ubuntu 24.10 wine, works
fine natively in ubuntu
Status in systemd-hwe package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in systemd-hwe source package in Oracular:
Incomplete
Bug description:
It's vrc-3nt joystick usb dongle
(https://www.vrcworld.com/support/faq2.aspx?question=7360). It works
fine in ubuntu 24.10, /dev/input/js0 device is created, and the
joystick can be correctly calibrated with e.g. jscal, but the joystick
is not seen in the wine. I tried both stock ubuntu wine 9 and upstream
wine 10 from the winehq repository, the result is still the same, no
joystick in the 'wine control' or wine games. I also tried:
- symlinking /dev/js0 to /dev/input/js0
- winetricks xinput
- winetrick dinput
Nothing helped. In Fedora 41, the dongle works fine in wine (fedora 41
has wine-10).

I guess the main problem can be this dmesg line (it doesn't show up in Fedora):
[ 304.083675] vrc2 0003:07C0:1125.0005: fixing up VRC-2 report descriptor
The fedora also has ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1 in the udev and it also has
joystick symlinks created in /dev/input/by-path and /dev/input/by-id,
they aren't created on ubuntu.
I also tried:
- adding very early custom udev rule adding to this device the ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1
- custom hwdb udev record describing 07C0:1125 as a joystick
- complete replace of the ubuntu udev rules and hwdb with the fedora ones
Nothing helped, so I think the difference is in the kernel.
