It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

Just for the record: game controller works again! I updated kernel to 4.12.12-gentoo few days ago, but the game had it update too. Nothing seems to change in dmesg though: [ 196.721858] usb 1-9: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [ 196.892949] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=05c4 [ 196.892950] usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 196.892951] usb 1-9: Product: Wireless Controller [ 196.892952] usb 1-9: Manufacturer: Sony Computer Entertainment [ 196.894812] input: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/0003:054C:05C4.0004/input/input14 [ 196.894982] input: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller Motion Sensors as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/0003:054C:05C4.0004/input/input15 [ 196.971911] input: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/0003:054C:05C4.0004/input/input13 [ 196.972259] sony 0003:054C:05C4.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v81.11 Gamepad [Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller] on usb-0000:00:14.0-9/input0
