XBOX ONE Controller Acting As Mouse and Keyboard In-Game?

[xilent]

I dont know what happened, but ever since Steam updated, my controller is acting like a mouse. Right stick moves the cursor, certain inputs arent registering as they normally would, and whenever I left click it opens some keyboard overlay.

Im not in any betas, and all controller settings are disabled in Big Picture.

For some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, this is the default state for Steam. It cannot be turned off without disabling Steam controller support. So if your controller is not supported by the game itself, then you are forced to treat your controller as a mouse and keyboard. If you're lucky, the game will support your controller without Steam's ridiculous hybrid setup.

Right control stick is mouse control, Start is treated as 'Enter' key, etc. It's garbage.

To fix this:

Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Setup

Uncheck everything in this menu.

Unfortunately, I did that and its still the same.

Nothing in Steam fixes this mess, switch everything off, make a custom config to disable everything, still behaves like a mouse and games are unplayable. TReported this in the beta, and I see the release version of Steam has this issue too. Just poor.

Thats really annoying. As a result of an injury, Ive been using a controller for the last week to minimize strain on my arm, and now I can barely play.

@ignito: Which games are you seeing issue with? This update added a feature to allow mouse/kb configuration to be used on game launchers but if it is happening in a game it is a bug. You can disable this feature by going into Big Picture Mode->Library->Game-Manage Game->Controller Options->Set "Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers" to "Forced Off".

That seemed to help, thanks. I noticed the problem in BeamNG.drive and Stardew Valley, but when I opened RUINER, there was no issue. I think its an issue with games that- in Big Picture mode- show a warning saying that its "not configured for use with a controller, but you can still play anyways."
Not sure if there may be more to it, but thats what I noticed.
