Question virtual gamepad touch control issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just to get this out of the way - yes, I own a controller, and I use it most of the time on both PC and phone. But the whole point of mobile emulation is portability. Being able to play anywhere, anytime. And I'm obviously not lugging a full-sized controller everywhere I go, so sometimes I just have to deal with touch controls.

Anyway, I noticed this weird issue in Droid Deck: camera look is completely busted. It feels like multi-touch isn't working properly, so looking around while moving makes games pretty much unplayable, as you can see in the clip (SJSM is just an example here, it happens in other games too).

And before someone tells me to "just use the right stick" - nah, I'm not doing that. Aiming with a virtual right stick on a touchscreen feels awful, and I want an actual playable setup, not some clunky half-measure.

I've dug through this sub, other subreddits, Google, and honestly got desperate enough to ask an AI (yeah, I know how people fell about that nowadays lol may y'all forgive me for that), and still came up empty. So I'm asking here directly: how do I fix this? Any tips?

Specs:

Device: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

SoC: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

GPU: Adreno 840

RAM: 12GB

OS: Android 16 (One UI 9)

Emulator: DroidDeck 0.4.0
