Proton 10 not seeing controller nor mouse inputs
Hi, don't know why but couple games when on proton 10 doesn't pass through controller inputs, same goes for mouse. As for mouse it only recognises left click, but I can't click in menus.
Doesn't matter if I use controller as wireless or if plugged in.
Tried so far:
- proton 10.0-1 beta
- proton experimental
- proton tkg 10.6
- proton GE 10-1
Version which work:
- Proton GE 9-27
I tested proton 10 on freshly installed standalone Fedora Kinoite 42 on my second disk and I don't have these problems.
Sample game which has this problem:
- Mafia Definitive Edition
Not gonna lie it's kinda annoying since I see that I have better performance on 10s comparing to 9.

I just had a problem about gamescope not letting me click on a dialog with GE-Proton-10-1, let me downgrade and see
bazzite base:
Haven't updated yet to newest one but still might be problem with it.
Maybe I'm missing something comparing to plain Kinoite or there's something which causes it? I asked couple people with other distros and they don't have this problem, be it said Kinoite or Arch.
Already tried removing layered apps and still the same.
I'm having the same issue. I have a Flydigi Vader 3 Pro and it doesn't work on any games using Proton 10. I tried with both Proton Experimental and GE 10-3
I've done all updates, its still the problem. Switched to raw kinoite and no problems. This is something on bazzite, even ruled out plasma problems as gnome has the same problem on bazzite.
I'm also on the latest updates and the issue still persists, it's really annoying having to select Proton 9 for games instead of using the latest Proton 10
same goes for mouseSorry to say but I am completely unable to reproduce this I have used nothing but Proton-10 and ProtonGE 10-1 for the last few weeks Not one game has issues w/ mouse input I will test controllers later today
Mouse also works fine for me
I have re-tested controller on Proton Experimental and GE 10, and on the latest Bazzite update I still have the issue, neither of my controllers work
Did you find any fix?
Proton 9 does not have this issue
In proton 10 even in ge controller just stops working after suspend resume
@arkejn did anything work out for you in the end with proton 10
@Rondo Revolution did anything work out for you in the end?
Having the same issue
Nope, but Kyle Gospo is aware of the issue, so it's probably a bit of time before it's fixed
For now I'm using Proton 9 and GE 9
Didn't he say he couldn't reproduce it? :/
just the mouse part, which is also not affecting me, but is affecting the other user
Is this a bazzite only issue or does it affect steamos too
I don't know for sure, but from what I have seen it's probably a bazzite only issue
Tested this today, I am completely unable to reproduce any issues with input
Controllers work perfectly fine on both proton 10 and proton GE 10-3
I tested this on my desktop which uses a desktop image, and my htpc which uses a deck image
I also tested it for the actual controls of my handheld which also runs a deck image
There is no difference with how input works on bazite versus Fedora or any other distro for controllers
And no reason to believe this would be specific to us
If you want further debugging on this you are going to have to reproduce this in a way that produces actionable logs, but I will ask another maintainer to test as well just to be sure
If it helps, I'm using the desktop image, is there any logs I can provide to help?
Also, there is an open issue on Proton GitHub of another Bazzite user with the same issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8681

Your system information Steam client version (build number or date): 1745876290 Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Bazzite Opted into Steam client beta?: No Have you checked for system updates?: Yes Steam...
I commented there a few days ago
I also tested with another controller and still have the same issue. I tried with a Flydigi Vader 3 Pro, a custom Pi Pico controller and a Dualsense, none of them works on Proton 10, but works fine on earlier versions
Out of curiosity: are you using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? I had that happen when I tried that.
Tried it on one game once only, all the other tries were without the launch option for wayland
Okay, so that's not it then.
Just tested with Proton 9 and 10 on Heroic Games Launcher to be sure the issue was not on Steam, and same results :/
