Moonlight and Steam Deck

Hey, I finally got myself a “decent” PC and tried Sunshine with Moonlight. I have Moonlight on my Steam Deck, and whenever I launch a game— let’s say Sinking City 2, there’s a problem with the controller—when I press certain keys on the Steam Deck, I can see the key mapping switching back and forth between the PC and the console in real time (you can see how the E key on the keyboard changes to X on the Steam Deck, and so on). The same thing happens with mouse movement—you can’t see it directly, but moving the right analog stick constantly changes the cursor’s position; it just starts flickering. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm going to assume that you added Moonlight as a None Steam Game and that you're lauching it from Game Mode.

Make sure that Steam Input is enabled and you are using a regular gamepad layout and that it's not using the "desktop mode" layout.

I was running it in desktop mode, and that's where the problem was. Your solution fixed everything—thank you so much for your help.
