No trackpad mouse input in desktop mode

[branon]

Hiya, received my Q2 model the other day and everything's great.

My trackpads don't work in desktop mode though - neither to move the mouse, nor to click. Touchscreen works fine but it seems I can only left click that way.

I've searched around a little bit, found a reddit thread that recommended restarting the Steam client application after dropping to desktop mode, but no dice.

If I open KDE's settings menu, and go to Input -> Touchpad, it says no touchpad found. But maybe that's normal.

My Deck is fully up-to-date with the stable channel. Tried rebooting as well. Mouse input with the trackpad works fine in games so I know the trackpads are functional, only desktop mode has problems.

Anyone experienced this or know a fix?

Cheers

Please make a support ticket so someone can walk you through troubleshooting the trackpad. We should be able to either figure out what's going on or help you with an RMA.

Just as a side note - we don't expose the individual sensors of the device to the OS, so it's normal to not see a touchpad listen in the KDE settings.

Thanks for the reply!

I figured this out - in Steam > Settings > Controller > "Desktop Configuration" I had a custom layout for a PS1 controller assigned as the desktop layout. Removing this has returned my desktop layout to normal and I can use the trackpad as a mouse now.
