Hello, i have problem with my DS4 using in garrysmod.

When i lightly (~5% of range) press R2 trigger, it is like if i am pressing Escape button on keyboard. When i press R2 to ~ 50% of its range in game, it is like i am pressing Left mouse button. If game is focused in Options, it is like i am pressing DOWN arrow, when i release R2 under ~50% it's like i have pressed UP arrow.

Half-life 2 (same engine as Garry's mod, Source) is not doing this. Any of my games aren't doing this problem with R2.

I did not have checked Enable gamepad option (when i do that, it looks like i am pressing A button on keyboard - player is moving to left side forever, and it is doing R2 problem anyway). Tested with every addons disabled, joystick module removed, not single joystick button is binded.

I want to use DS4 joystick with Wiremod (i have special addon and module to do that).

I does have suspect on Steam Controller support. I tried to unbind everything in Steam Controller Options. Even with Garrysmod in Big Picture Mode.

Please help me, this is annoying as hell, it seems like Steam is doing something on it's own.

garry's mod isn't meant to be played with controller.

That does not solve my problem, my friend does have xbox controller and without issues :) i have module that receives all gamepad inputs, analogs too i do not want to control player, physgun etc with it, i want to control my Wire vehicles with it. So there isnt problem, but i think that Steam is simulating keyboard on R2 trigger. More than 1, and i am not able to disable it.

Complete Steam reinstall fixed it.

Bump. Problem is back. If anyone is interested, i temporarly fixed it by using DS4windows. Garrysmod (and steam) was detecting primarly x360 driver and when so, R2 trigger was acting normal. Gmod detected x360 AND DS4 so i used it and that fixed it. But it's not simple fix.
