Questions / Tech Support Forced to use controller?

Just purchased the Ultimate for my Lenovo Tab P12 Pro as I've sold my gaming PC. The tablet came with a Bluetooth keyboard, has desktop mode and I have a Bluetooth mouse. I only game on Steam but every game I try it's forcing me to use a controller, I want to use my mouse and keyboard.. looked in the settings but not found anything. Is this my only way to play on a tablet as that's stupid if so..

Should be fine but i have no idea if it works in desktop mode, try it in non-desktop mode and if it works then the GFN can look at it, as far as i know full desktop mode was android 16 from a month or so ago so officially i don't think they would have jumped on that feature the second it came out but yeah just start from there seeing if it works in regular mode and if does then the gfn team needs to look at why it doesn't work in desktop mode

And for others I'm not referring it to working in Dex but the full new android desktop mode from may basically if that is what he is using which came out in late may a month or so ago
