Does grub only allow one keyboard at a time by default?
Comment on Steam Controller First Impressions and some Issues on Linux

For the GRUB issue, it was probably using the Steam controller as the primary keyboard. Without steam running, the controller works as keyboard and mouse, so you can navigate bios/etc with it. On the GRUB screen, you could have probably selected the boot up option with the controller.
I’m guessing by changing USB ports, you now have your regular keyboard on an “earlier” USB port, so it takes priority over the controller.

There is a grub setting for that, but usually the motherboard bios/uefi is responsible for passing input devices on to grub. Other motherboards may not have this same issue.

Yeah, probably something like that. The controller was not on or connected at that point though, so it seems like even the puck itself might advertise itself as a keyboard.
