Dualsense controller not working (Bazzite Gnome Desktop)

I am having an issue getting a Dualsense controller working with Bazzite desktop (Gnome edition).

Working:
- bluetooth connects and identifies Dualsense
- user belongs to 'input' group

Not working:
- Default mouse input via trackpad doesn't work
- Input Remapper recognises controller but no input is detected when trying to map
- Steam Big Picture Mode doesn't recognise controller is attached and input doesn't work (shows UI for an Xbox controller)

I don't think it's a hardware issue as I have previously tried Fedora Silverblue on this same laptop and the Dualsense behaviour there is as expected, Big Picture Mode and others work fine.

Any clues where to start troubleshooting? The only extra packages I have added to my install so far are LACT.
