How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
I tried with three different Linux machines (Manjaro and Ubuntu based) and the dongle does show up in Steam as a "Xbox 360 controller", but I absolutely can't seem to get the controller to pair with it?
Is there any trick to it?
I know that people here said they are using the F710 with Linux...
P.s.: My old F310 usb cable version works fine on the same machines.

Edit: the internet is full of people complaining about a seemingly similar issue on Windows10, which makes me suspect this isn't a hardware issue, but some driver or maybe firmware oddity.

And it says:
But that isn't very verbose... I tried a few ways of putting batteries in and out... but to no effect. I feel like I am missing something small that is just stupid :(
(I don't think it should be necessary if it's brand new. But if you bought it used maybe the seller sent the wrong receiver?)
I just tried it with an Android TV box and there it also doesn't work. I don't have a Windows machine at hand, so I can't check it on Windows.

See the [Logitech F710 FAQ](https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025182834--FAQ-Wireless-Gamepad-F710) for details.
Never needed to use this myself so good luck!
