If your controller is working fine in every game but Space Marine 2, disabling the Steam input might solve the issue.

After you have disabled the Steam input, relaunch the game. For most users, disabling the steam input worked fine.
Additionally, you can restart the PC if the game doesn’t detect your controller even after disabling the steam input.
Warhammer 40k: Space Mission 2 is designed in such a way that it supports both the Playstation and Xbox controllers.
The players do not need to use a wired connection for the Playstation controllers once the steam input is disabled.
Moreover, the game also supports adaptive triggers for the DualSense users. Make sure you have updated your DualSense controllers from the PlayStation Accessories.

For some, disabling and unplugging every other device from a USB port has helped, too. You can also disconnect the mouse, pedals, hostas, additional joysticks, etc.
Likewise, you can try unplugging and disabling any other external devices that you aren’t going to use. Lastly, disable the Steam input option and relaunch the game.

Further, you should choose the Controller tab to find the controller’s status.
Make sure the Steam is detecting the controller you have plugged in.
