Description

Current Behaviour

for some reason when using my steam deck controller. I get this weird input delay for all buttons + joysticks. Not sure if its a decky thing as I have that installed.

I used an 8BitDo Pro 2 in switch/xbox mode to double check if I was going insane but both modes worked fine with usb AND bluetooth.

also side note: Rumble is extremely low on Steam Deck. I have it set to the max and it barely shakes

Expected Behaviour

No input delay when using steam deck controller

and rumble is at an average amount of rumblyness.
