Odd issue with xinput (affecting microsoft controllers and random controllers)
Just writing this here so i can keep track of it while testing as i might not get full time to dive into it until Wednesday.
Currently it seems like Xbox controllers and random Xinput controllers (RetroFighter BattlerGC) get mapped up as an xbox 360 controller wirelessly according to steam input and then refuse to provide input, wired they show up as either 360 or xbone controllers but still provide no input.
However controllers like the 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller (in xinput mode) will work fine and shows up as an xbox one controller and generates input while the KingKong 2 Pro shows up as an xbox 360 controller but will generate input.
According to @EyeCantCU this seems to not happen on his Gnome system with his Xbox Elite Series 2 controller while i have verified it is broken on 2 separate systems (both running deck KDE image) on my end.
I will be firing up a VM with passthrough to it myself on clean installs as this seems super weird.
NOTE: image shows me moving the left stick all the way to the top left and the left joystick position in steam is still reported as 0,0
this also happens with other applications too so it is not steam input causing the issue.
