PS4 controller support borked

[Minimatt]

I use a Playstation Dualshock 4 controller to play most games on steam. I'm aware that not all games support Playstation controllers and I end up getting Xbox button prompts but that doesn't bother me and isn't the problem I have.

Until recently, I was playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor just fine with my PS4 controller using a USB wire connection and I had no issues. However, out of nowhere this problem has started occuring where my mouse cursor will continue to display in the game menu and when pressing buttons on my PS4 controller, the button prompts will revert to keyboard commands. This causes problems such as the O button on my controller acting like a select button rather than a back button, my right joystick moving the mouse cursor and lots of other mixed commands. Keyboard prompts and PS4 prompts will also flicker back and forth in-game.

I've tried messing with controller settings in Steam which doesn't seem to fix the problem. Ive tried disabling the HID component drivers but that hasn't worked either. What am I doing wrong?

Any help on this subject would be much appreciated, thank you.

i noticed similar problems with my dual-shock/senses. specifically when trying to pause and it majorly lags the game and refuses to pause it. Esc works fine, i noticed it when using the controllers wired, wireless i have no issue, try switching from wireless to wired using the ds4 windows program

wired to wireless*

Dont Disable the HID complient drivers, Instead, try disabling all gamepad inputs from steam on the games steam setting in your library then restart the game.
This will stop steam from using any of its gamepad profiles that it usually uses for big screen mode/steam deck mode and only allow external gamepad inputs that windows has installed.

If that still doesn't work, you can try installing DS4Windows which will pretty much turn your dual shock 4 controller into a wired or wireless bluetooth Xbox controller. just be sure to enable one of Ds4windows setting that says hide controller (forgot the exact option name), this will stop double inputs from happening on games that already support Dualshock controllers by default

There was an update to the EA App tye screwed up controller support for EA games.

You can make it work by added EADesktop.exe as a non-Steam Game, then launching EA app through Steam and Jedi Survivor through EA App

Try this
Steam>Settings>Controller>Non-game controller layouts>Desktop layout>edit. Then disable steam input.
