Comment on Help troubleshooting dead steam deack controller

I sometimes have this exact same thing happen to me too (including the touch screen + volume/power buttons working fine), but only on the desktop environment… And for me it gets fixed when I restart the system
I believe EmuDeck was the source of the problem, but if you factory reset the system that shouldn’t be an issue… So having that in mind, this smells like a hardware issue. (I’ve done absolutely no research, though, so take that with a grain of salt. I just thought it was interesting that our Decks had the same symptoms.)

Hey @lounges@lemmy.world (do pings even work on Lemmy?), do your buttons not work both in game mode and desktop mode?
But yeah, the problem having survived a factory reset makes this feel more like a hardware issue, although it doesn’t hurt to check if the problem persists on “both sides” of the OS.

Buttons do not work anywhere no.
