PS Classic controller not recognized on Dell Optiplex 790

Hello all. I am trying to use a 'PS Classic' USB controller with my Dell Optiplex 790 SFF. It works in my laptop with the latest Arch Linux/kernel, so I know it should work on my desktop.

Any help is appreciated, I've been unable to use my controller on my desktop for months.

[optiplex ~]$ sudo dmesg -w
