I haven't actually tried it (as I don't have the controller), however,
it looks like it should work to me:

% modinfo atkbd

We could call it 'keyboard' as whatever joystick/mouse/... drivers are
not used anyway in the initramfs, and we don't include any of the
non-hid, non-keyboard modules.

I'll rephrase and rename to 'keyboard', you can rename back to 'input'
if you prefer.
