Symptoms

When any analog input is held/registered from the steamdeck hardware controls (L2/R2 Triggers, Trackpads, Joysticks) gameplay and video freeze for anywhere between a second and functionally permanent depending on the duration the input was held. Audio continues to play during this.
When/if gameplay resumes everything continues as normal with digital inputs continuing to work until analog input is again registered

Reproduction

1. Launch Zeepkist using one of the affected Proton versions:
   Proton Experimental, 7.0-4, 6.3-8, (5.13-8 unable to test due to freeze upon startup), (5.0-10 seems unaffected but crashes upon loading to main menu), issue is not present on 4.2-9
2. Wait for approximately the first second of loading
3. Press any analog input on the steamdeck
4. Observe Freeze of duration proportional to length of input

Proton Logs:

Log of an affected Proton version (7.0-4) causing the Freeze as soon as possible during load and waiting 2 minutes before terminating game 7.0-4_steam-1440670.tar.gz
Reference Log of an unaffected Proton version, everything else consistent 4.2-9_steam-1440670.log

Start by reproducing the freeze on Steam Deck with the affected Proton versions and compare the linked 7.0-4 and 4.2-9 Proton logs. Investigate the difference between analog and digital input handling; done means analog controls no longer freeze gameplay and video while audio continues.
