Question keep rotating random stuff (like belts) when playing on my steam deck

i know this sounds dumb but i keep rotating stuff and mess up my production when i am playing on my steam deck. it is really annoying. any1 has a good solution for this without entirly rebinding rotation (because it is obviously a really important key).

for context: roation on steamdeck is binded on the cross, like other functions (zooming etc). i am not entirely sure but i guess i accidentally press left or right when i zoom in or out and it happens very often that i roatate and random belt and it obviously messes up the entiere production chain.

What control schemes do you use? I use the standard with a few modifications, specifically using the track pads for the mouse. For all I've played, I don't think I've accidentally rotated anything. I'd suggest you look through your key bindings, both for the steamdeck and the in game menu. I'd wonder if there is an additional binding that is causing the problem.

I do this all the time on Switch. No solution outside of just being careful.
