[CLOSED] USB Gamepads don't work

Hello, been trying to get my USB gamepads to work on my new PC.
What I have here is Xbox one and GameSir gamepads. Nothing happens after connecting them (as well as both of my xbox360 pads too), no Steam recognition and no Cat reacting to me pressing buttons on pads.
Tried some troubleshooting advice from Gamepad and none of them worked.

Here's the lsusb response:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 096: ID 0079:181c DragonRise Inc. GameSir-T4 Mini
Bus 001 Device 042: ID 045e:02ea Microsoft Corp. Xbox One Controller
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Which, if I got it right, means my device is recognizing these gamepads, but they still won't show up in /dev/input/js*

Where should I start?

UDP: After 30 more minutes of tries to fix this. Was away from keyboard for 10 mins, when I came back both of my gamepads turned out to be working. I have to clue what the f this was, but now it's solved.
