[nonamebran]

as per above. restarting deck, pc or steam does not work. tried changing controller settings, changing controller type, updating steam and reinstalling steam, using steam link app, desktop mode w/o success.

Some games have the controls work perfectly over Remote Play. Others, as you've found, don't work at all. I did file a bug report about it, but I didn't manage to identify a common denominator for whether the controls would work or not. Please add more data there if you have it.

Having the same issue.

Accessing games through remote play results in the connected controllers input being messed up, it can range from not working at all to analogue sticks as mouse input and no other buttons working or something completely random.

It feels like it should be using the controller config the steam deck provides but instead its trying to override it with the streaming PC settings and then just getting messed up and doing neither.

I am experiencing this issue as well. It doesn't matter what game I play with remote play, neither the deck controls or external controller connected to deck register any input.

Same issue here. I tried Halo MCC. I can use my Xbox Series X controller in the game menu. However, if I start a mission my Xbox Controller doesn't work anymore. Even Steam Deck input is ignored.

Would just like to bump this as I'm having the same issue, remote play basically isn't possible using my Deck now which is very disappointing.

Yeah, same here. No input at all from Steam Deck while streaming from my PC.

I found out that even XBox controller doesn't work on my system, at least not properly. It seems that the problem is in Steam being installed as Flatpak in my Fedora. I added these udev rules:

Into /etc/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules, restarted the system and all looks good.

I used to play PC to deck remote play on tekken 7 and it would work flawlessly wherein the PC would use an Xbox One controller and steam deck would use inbuilt controller.

However, when I try deck to deck remote play, the deck that launched the game can input using the inbuilt controller and the other deck can do nothing.

+1, I am also having this issue. Host is running Void Linux, streaming works fine with kbd+mouse but cannot get steam deck built in controller to work.

I’m also having this issue but for me, my controller gets disconnected whenever I try to remote play with my friend while they use steam deck. If I try to have them start the remote play instead, I’m stuck on a screen saying “input is disabled while the host is busy”

No one has figured this out yet. Pretty much made my deck into a paperweight

[acpi2222]

Has anyone been able to use the steam deck controls on remote play yet? None of my controls register when trying to play BG3 on remote play despite trying all of the things mentioned on the original post

[polyhex]

I'm also dealing with this. Non-steam games ignore all controller input when streaming to Steam Deck.

I commented on this thread a while, but have since setup the sunlight server on my PC and am streaming to my deck with the moonlight client without issue. Id recommend looking at that solution if you stumble on this thread.
