According to Valve,[1] to fully use the Steam Controller, you need access to uinput.
The method they provide (allowing a single group) is not suitable for a package. I think Ubuntu has a good solution, using uaccess.[2] Can we use the same rule as them, so we have full functionality out of the box?

This would also fix  FS#46825 .

So this would be the resulting file:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
KERNEL=="uinput", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
