i'm having the same problem and don't know what to do

ok i restarted my computer and then took a nap. restarting it helped me but i'm not sure for you.
here is a comment i copied off of a forum page (it didn't help me but might help you)

I'm copying and pasting an answer Concerned Ape posted elsewhere, plus adding a little more (because I had this problem as well). A computer/ windows update broke my controller use (it works everywhere else but Stardew).

From Concerned Ape:
"Try going into your steam controller settings for stardew valley and selecting "Enable Steam Input". If that doesn't work, then try resetting to the default gamepad controller configuration by pressing shift + tab while in game to open the steam overlay, then selecting the controller configuration from the top right, then choosing "browse configs", and then finally selecting the recommended/default config."

Added by me:
So go into Steam and RIGHT click on the game in the left hand bar and click "properties". That will pull up the Stardew properties- now click "Controller" on the left side of the new window that popped up. In the "Override for stardew valley" dropdown list select "enable steam input" then restart the game. My controller worked again after that.

Hopefully this is helpful for the people who find the thread on Google who have the same problem.

Load a game with your mouse + keyboard, go to settings and check if the gamepad mode is set to force off.

This worked perfectly, thank you! The controller was fine last night and suddenly stopped, but this fixed it.

Anyone else having this issue and the above doesn't work:
Steam settings > Controller > Uninstall Extended Feature Support Driver
Reboot.

Controller started working when I went into big picture mode and started the game from there using the controller
