Struggling to get my Logitech G923 to work on my system

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Sep 2025 - 5:44pm

On Fedora 42, kernel vs. 6.16.5.

according to sources I found online, this wheel should work "out of the box" but apparently not for me.
Kernel drivers have already been developed for kernel versions beyond 6.3+. So maybe a non issue?

Steam can't find my controller either.
running lsusb outputs my logitech wheel.

but after running
ls /dev/input/by-id/ | grep logitech

It doesn't output anything. Has anyone else faced an issue similar to this in the past?

Tweaks I use to game on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Sep 2025 - 4:48pm

Hello everyone,

Games might not always perform well out of the box, or have more input lag compared to Windows- so here are some tweaks that I personally use.

Realtime kernel (or PREEMPT_RT)

Can improve the overall responsiveness, and reduce latency. Very useful for gaming. Patches are available here; https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start (often served as linux-rt on some distros)

Or use a kernel like Linux-zen for example, it features patches that can lower latency significantly for desktop use/gaming.

NTsync

Linux has several sync methods for Wine/Proton, like Esync, Fsync and NTsync

NTsync generally gives you better lows, but this might depend on the game;

sched-ext

sched-ext might improve your cpu utilization/load balancing. Try out some schedulers and benchmark them on your system. https://github.com/sched-ext/scx

evdev (Xorg)

Use xf86-input-evdev with the following config file to disable all mouse smoothing

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" MatchIsPointer "yes" Driver "evdev" Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1" Option "AccelerationScheme" "none" Option "AccelSpeed" "-1" EndSection

Disable your compositor (Xorg)

Even though some compositors allow full-screen applications to pass without compositing, it might not always work, or certain games no longer feature exclusive full-screen. I personally notice a small difference when my compositor is completely disabled (XFCE4)

Check your NVIDIA Reflex setting!

Certain games have the option to enable Nvidia Reflex, from personal experience certain games (like The Finals) have worse input lag with it enabled. It is worth turning it on/off and checking if you have less- or more input lag when using the mouse.

Happy tweaking!

I need recommendations for a controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Sep 2025 - 3:55pm

Title. I have a play station 5 controller. Expensive and not nearly as comfortable and pleasant to use as one would imagine with that price.

I'm looking for cheaper things I won't get too upset at the moment of breaking, something that works well on linux, of course.
