Ok, i tried with this rules file :

# This rule is needed for basic functionality of the controller in
# Steam and keyboard/mouse emulation
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"

# This rule is necessary for gamepad emulation
KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput",
TAG+="uaccess"

And the controller is correctly recognized as a gamepad in my games. And i
create this rules file in "/lib/udev/rules.d" with this name
"99-steam-controller-perms.rules"

Cheers,
Maxime
