You can check that the quirks have been added to the boot command line by running

cat /proc/cmdline

Can you copy the output of the command and post it here ? Alternatively, as @Halvhjearne mentioned, try using modprobe to apply the options from a command line:

rmmod usbhid && modprobe usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe001:0x040

Foxsec

rmmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:793 kmod_module_remove_module() could not remove 'usbhid': Operation not permitted
rmmod: ERROR: could not remove module usbhid: Operation not permitted

Is what I get when I run the rrmod command?

And I get the below when I type the cmdline in

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-23-generic root=UUID=9c1664a3-6dc6-4ad4-afc8-334c7e46342b ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1

Think it's worth just getting another encoder so I'll have one for each joystick? seems like it just doesn't want to work, thanks a lot for you help btw guys, really appreciate it.

Yeah, forgot about that. Prefix the commands with sudo:

sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe001:0x040

And I get the below when I type the cmdline in

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-23-generic root=UUID=9c1664a3-6dc6-4ad4-afc8-334c7e46342b ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1

That means your Grub modifications have not added the usbquirks necessary for the joystick.

No, you're very close of making this one work, so there's no need to get another one.

are you sure you edited the line correctly in /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub?

perhaps show us the content of it

I was writing down every step and making a code box for everything that came up and I tried that rmmod that Mitu suggested and i checked the quirks file after and it worked!

Both set of joysticks and buttons are now configured

Thanks so much for your help guys, really really appreciate it :)

thats wierd, for me it would not work with modprobe and i remember reading somewhere that it was supposedly blocked, but whatever.

atleast it works for you now.
