Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:13:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-221998-208809@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221998
Bug ID: 221998
Summary: HID: playstation: GameSir G7 Pro 8K (054C:09CC)
reports incorrect battery level (fixed at 5%)
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 7.2.3-1-cachyos
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: USB
Assignee: drivers_usb@kernel-bugs.kernel.org
Reporter: eivaam@icloud.com
Regression: No
The GameSir G7 Pro 8K controller, when connected via USB in DS4 mode,
is correctly detected and registered by the hid-playstation driver as a
DualShock 4 controller (USB ID 054C:09CC). The driver creates the battery
power_supply device as expected, but the reported battery capacity is
always fixed at 5% with status "Discharging", regardless of the actual
battery level.
The controller firmware is fully updated (verified via the official
GameSir iOS app, which reports 100% battery). The issue is therefore not
a firmware problem, but a parsing issue in the hid-playstation driver
when handling the battery report from this third-party controller.
Kernel version:
7.2.3-1-cachyos
Distribution:
CachyOS
Hardware:
GameSir G7 Pro 8K
- USB ID: 054C:09CC (emulated DualShock 4)
- Connection: USB cable
- Mode: DS4 (white LED)
- Firmware: latest available, updated via GameSir iOS app
Driver:
hid-playstation
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect the GameSir G7 Pro 8K via USB in DS4 mode.
2. Wait for the device to be registered by the kernel.
3. Run:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/ps-controller-battery-*/capacity
4. Observe that the output is always "5".
5. Run:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/ps-controller-battery-*/status
6. Observe that the output is "Discharging" even when the controller is
fully charged.
Expected behavior:
The reported battery capacity should reflect the actual battery level of
the controller (e.g. 100% when fully charged), and the status should
change to "Charging" or "Full" when connected to a power source.
Actual behavior:
The battery capacity is permanently fixed at 5% and the status remains
"Discharging", regardless of the real battery level or charging state.
