One piece of potentially helpful information i think you forgot is, what is your controller?

Homie. You’re asking for help. Provide the info up front rather than expect people to dig through your entire mess to collect basic details.
Other useful information: Is this raw dog or flapak steam? At a glance that looks like a modal controller. What mode(s) have you tried connecting it as?
And, generally, usb dongles don’t work as well as bluetooth for gamepads in linux.

If it’s a generic controller without a known equivalent HID compliant profile (this one detects as a Switch), it’s likely not going to work well for a variety of reasons.
Maybe give this a shot: https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond
It should make controllers aligned with Switch work with steam-input.
Running lsusb in the terminal returns Bus 001 Device 003: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller for the controller. I have no idea why this is, as I don’t think this is a Nintendo controller at all XD
Assuming this is your controller it looks like it supports Switch motion controls specifically, and from your lsusb output it looks like they’re spoofing Nintendo’s USB vendor/product ID – presumably that’s how they make that work?
If it works in the browser but not Steam, then it seems like it’s probably something specific to Steam, but I don’t know what. Doing a quick search, there are a number of threads about people having issues with Steam and Switch Pro controllers – maybe relevant? Steam might be getting confused by how it’s presenting itself? (Wild guess)
If you test with jstest-gtk, does it show up sanely?
