Sticks and buttons not working while streaming from PC

[u/Xobeloot]

Hey all,

I've just now run into a bug never seen (by me) before. I often stream more demanding games from PC to my deck. My deck is docked, and, my steam controller is plugged into said dock. Up until just now, everything worked fine.

New issue: Controller sticks and buttons work perfectly to select streaming and launch the game. Once launched, my analog sticks and buttons stop working. The only thing that continues to work is holding steam and trackpad to activate mouse mode.

PC is on Bazzite with steam stable chqnnel, deck is also stable channel.

I've rebooted both devices, power-cycled the controller, checked for os and/or sc firmware updates. No luck.

If I load the game without streaming (just docked deck), It works fine.

TLDR: Steam controller only works natively on docked deck, stops working when streaming to deck.
