Dual Shock 4 PS button + RT taking screenshots
If anyone has a fix for this I'm dying to know. I use a Dual Shock 4 controller for any games I play on steam that feel better with gamepad.

The problem:
Recently I turned off the "PS4 Configuration" option in the controller options for steam for my DS4. I wanted the full intended functionality of the DS4 while playing For Honor. So in-game I now get full intended functionality of the DS4 in For Honor, BUT now when I press the PS (home) button on the controller it allows me to move my cursor with my right thumbstick and adjust the volume with my left thumbstick. This isn't a huge deal but it's extremely frustrating when i'm in game and accidently taking screenshots in frantic battles. I've lost many times due to accidental screenshots pressing PS button + RT at the same time while in a frantic situation. Also, if I am done playing games and turn off my controller while on my desktop, my mouse cursor will forever be floating upwards until i restart computer or exit steam.

If anyone knows a workaround for this please let me know. I have already tried disabling the "Guide button focuses on steam" option in the controller menu, but this did not work. Also, I have changed the key bind for taking screenshots in the steam settings to "none" but the controller is still bound to take screenshots with PS+RT.

Thanks in advance for help! Also, my suggestion to steam would be to have options to disable the home buttons on PS and Xbox controllers, or an option to just disable gamepad screenshots.

I know its a little late, but for other readers still helpfull (I looked for a solution and had to find one by myselfe).

Go to the settings. In section "Controller" click on "Base Configuration". There, go to "Steam Button Chord Configuration". Now u can edit all buttons that are used with the Home-button, including the screenshot button (the home button basically works as a shift).

Settings location is equal for BigPicture and normal mode.

Hope I can still help somebody.

Never too late to reply! I've switched to playing with kb/m just because of this screenshot issue. However, I do sometimes get the urge to go back to controller. Thanks for the help.
