Comment 1 David Edmundson 2025-01-09 11:10:58 UTC 
The new KCM now uses SDL for abstraction, SDL has an additional layer of checks about what is and isn't a joystick.

If you can run sdl2-jstest and confirm if that lists your joystick that would help.
This isn't an inherently bad thing, if they don't work in SDL they probably won't work in a bunch of games either nor load any configuration.
Comment 2 Joshua Goins 2025-01-09 15:31:00 UTC 
In 6.3, we now also use SDL's Joystick API which should hopefully detect this one. We previously only detected the now-typical game controller like those from XBox, Nintendo, etc.
