Last update broke DualSense gyro and shortcuts

[zerocore]

Since the update that was pushed to my Steam Deck earlier today the gyro as mouse function stopped working on my DualSense controller. Shorts cuts for SteamOS with the DualSense also don’t respond anymore and rearranging the controller stopped working (there is an ‘!’ next to each controller where the order number should be visible.) it seems to affect all games in my Steam Library.

The buddy who I was planning to play some games with also plays on a Steam Deck and was experiencing the exact same issues with his DualSense. Upgrading to the beta branch of SteamOS doesn’t solve the issue.

To clarify: this is all via Bluetooth. Using a direct usb c connection produces the same issue + the rumble motors inside the DualSense are constantly mildly rumbling.

This is still an issue I believe. Tried using my dual sense today via USB c and the gyro didn't work

Just got a DualSense controller today, specifically to have a gyro-enabled Bluetooth controller for Steam Deck, when playing on my TV in docked mode. Unless I'm missing some obscure setting for enabling it, gyro does not seem to work

UPDATE: While googling another DualSense-on-Steam-Deck issue I've run into (touchpad acting as mouse, ignoring Steam Input), found a GitHub bug report that mentions a workaround that solves both issues (gyro & touchpad).

Use the "Restart Steam" option in Power menu (may need to "Enable Developer Mode" in Settings->System to see this option). After Steam resets, gyro and touchpad both register as-expected for the controller in Steam Input and on SteamOS controller calibration menus.

Hopefully Valve patches this quickly so the workaround isn't needed, but my DualSense controller now appears to have all features successfully working and integrated into SteamOS and Steam Input on the Deck after doing this.
