The input subsystem pull also includes ATKBD driver quirks for HONOR ZQC-P and Xiaomi Book Pro 14 laptop keyboards to fix non-functional keyboards under Linux. Additional fixes address out-of-bounds issues, information leaks, use-after-free bugs, and other coding issues across multiple input drivers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does the Zenaim Leverless fighting game controller work on Linux? The Zenaim Leverless works on Linux starting with kernel 7.2-rc7. Support was added to the XPad driver using new vendor/device USB IDs — no additional configuration is needed. The Zenaim Leverless is a Japanese 15-button leverless controller optimized for fighting games that previously only had Microsoft Windows support. _Developers tracking Linux hardware compatibility for gaming peripherals follow kernel input driver changes on daily.dev._ ### How do I fix HONOR ZQC-P or Xiaomi Book Pro 14 keyboard not working on Linux? The HONOR ZQC-P and Xiaomi Book Pro 14 laptop keyboards require ATKBD driver quirks to function under Linux. These quirks, which add deactivation fixes, were merged in the Linux 7.2-rc7 input subsystem pull. Without them, the keyboards do not work at all under Linux. _Linux users dealing with unsupported laptop hardware track kernel fix merges like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Linux 7.3 Adds Support For Victrix Pro BFG & Azeron Controllers](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-adds-support-for-victrix-pro-bfg-azeron-controllers-sdl5j6xrp) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Razer Wolverine V3 Pro & Betop KP50 Controllers To Be Supported By Linux 7.0](https://daily.dev/posts/razer-wolverine-v3-pro-betop-kp50-controllers-to-be-supported-by-linux-7-0-ohphtx6li) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.3 Adding Logitech G502 X Lightspeed USB Support, ELECOM M-XT4DRBK](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-adding-logitech-g502-x-lightspeed-usb-support-elecom-m-xt4drbk-uuyavk3fj) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.1-rc6 To Support The ASUS ROG RAIKIRI II & Nova 2 Lite Controllers](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-rc6-to-support-the-asus-rog-raikiri-ii-nova-2-lite-controllers-g4k6bhoof) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-rc7-adding-support-for-the-most-unique-or-very-funky-gaming-controller-vdovfedk1) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Linux 7.2-rc7 Adding Support For The Most Unique Or Very Funky Gaming Controller","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-rc7-adding-support-for-the-most-unique-or-very-funky-gaming-controller-vdovfedk1","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-rc7-adding-support-for-the-most-unique-or-very-funky-gaming-controller-vdovfedk1"},"datePublished":"2026-08-08T10:29:12.579Z","dateModified":"2026-08-08T10:29:33.459Z","description":"Linux 7.2-rc7 adds support for the Zenaim Leverless, a Japanese 15-button leverless controller optimized for fighting games, via the XPad driver using new...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/6d9cd377699ca84ebdda19e447bb4690?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/6d9cd377699ca84ebdda19e447bb4690?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Phoronix","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Phoronix","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6a26ba379dd64932830aa0c9803dd7ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-rc7-adding-support-for-the-most-unique-or-very-funky-gaming-controller-vdovfedk1","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Linux 7.2-rc7 Adding Support For The Most Unique Or Very Funky Gaming Controller"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-rc7-adding-support-for-the-most-unique-or-very-funky-gaming-controller-vdovfedk1#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the Zenaim Leverless fighting game controller work on Linux?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Zenaim Leverless works on Linux starting with kernel 7.2-rc7.
