Steam Controller Issue

questionbug
I’ve been using Bazzite Deck image for a couple of weeks now as an HTPC computer and it’s been great compared to windows. My only issue right now is that my Steam controller isn’t working properly.

I couldn’t get the controller to connect with the dongle but I could get it to connect with Bluetooth. The steam controller will work fine initially but what happens is that when I’m in the steam deck mode and I load a game with a mouse/keyboard layout the controller basically turns into a mouse and keyboard and no longer functions as a gamepad. I’m the steam button won’t do anything so I can’t access the steam menu and any other gamepads I have connected will no longer work as well. I tried a few games and always got that same result.

I couldn’t find a solution online yet so I was hoping someone here could help me. I was hoping to get the dongle to work as well if it’s possible.

My specs:
Bazzite-deck KDE (AMD)
Steam Controller
8-bit do ultimate 2.4ghz controller
