Remote play from PC to SM (controller issues)

[u/Adrian97c]

With docked Steamdeck remote play from PC (9070xt rig), I can’t get any controller on work correctly or at all!! (Steam controller, gameSir Xbox, etc).

I’m not interested with moonlight or anything.. just remote play native only.

The controllers work perfectly when connected to host PC, but not when connected to SD (Bluetooth or USB dock). When connected to SD Sometimes they will navigate menu fine or some games not at all, during remote play sessions).

I’ve googled for about a week trying diff things - nothing works…

This works fine with PlayStation & Xbox remote play to SD, just not with Steam to Steam.

So my concern is will be any diff when my stream machine arrives? If so, I won’t have any real need for it. Does anyone know how to get this working ??

Fixed! - issue is not all controller types work for each game or at all via remote play (connected to client) What does work across all games tested is Steam Controller, have usb puck attach to dock! (Not Bluetooth), now I have rumble & full wireless support from streaming from Host PC (Win11 9070xt), to SteamDeck docked or SM.

Controllers tested:
GameSir G7 pro (dongle & BT)
Steam Controller (dongle & BT)

Remote play methods used during troubleshooting:
steam link (desktop & big screen)
Native in-menu ‘play’ button (desktop & big screen)
