Controller Configuration (Critical for Linux)
Version 1.5.78.11833 has a known quirk: It detects Xbox controllers perfectly via xpad but misidentifies PS4 (DualShock 4) as a generic input device.
Fix: Install ds4drv or use Steam’s input wrapper even for the native version. Alternatively, edit ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/input_bindings.txt directly. OS: Ubuntu 16
