Here's what's strange. In the BPM interface, the controller works fine. When running Portal 2, no issues whatsoever. The controller is great.
Where it breaks down is when I'm running Axiom Verge and Hollow Knight. The Steam controller isn't recognized at all. Even if I select a controller profile, it just doesn't work at all.
If I plug in an Xbox 360 controller, it will work fine on those games with no issues. I'd rather use my Steam controller, though.
I have had a chance to try the Steam controller on Windows with Axiom Verge for example, it works fine. So I'm not sure what's different about Ubuntu to prevent this from working.
I'm hoping someone else has run across this and may be able to offer guidance.

The issue, apparently, was that Steam Controller was not recognized as the first (main) controller, and this particular game did not like it, while some other ones worked (and allowed me to choose which controller I want to use). Also changing the order in Steam settings did not help.
By the way, instead of manually setting udev rules, in Ubuntu you can just install the steam-devices package which does it for you.
I'm not entirely sure what fixed it. I did a combination of what you mentioned, but I also added a reboot in there too. I'm wondering if perhaps I needed to reboot in order for the order of controller preference to be reset? I originally removed my X360 controller and restarted Steam, but that didn't fix it by itself. I also installed the package you mentioned (after removing my manual file) and then I also installed the steam-devices package you mentioned. That still didn't fix it, but after a reboot, something must have cleared. So I'll give you credit for the resolution, since what you said was probably the culprit.
Thanks!
