Research direction

Reproduce the regression in Settings > Input > Hotkeys > Hotkey enable using a DualShock 4 on macOS 12.5, comparing v1.10.3 with v1.11.0. Trace the input hotkey handling and identify why the PS button and touchpad click are no longer recognized; done means both controls are detected again in v1.11.0.
