Extreme Controller 'activation' delay when moving between apps

For the past day or so I've dealing with a bizarre controller issue and can't figure out what caused it.

I use a dualsense edge connected to my htpc via bluetooth (on bazzite-deck: stable) and have it setup to wake my pc when I press the PS button.

However, every time I boot up my computer, start a game, quit a game, switch to desktop, or return to gamemode, it takes my controller anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes to begin responding to any inputs (with only one exception described below).

Oddly, the controller shortcut for handheld daemon (PS + circle) does not have any delay at all and works instantly. I can even navigate the HHD menu normally with all controller inputs, but when I exit out of the menu the inputs once again do not work.

The controller is currently the only bluetooth device connected to my computer, and the fact that HHD still opens instantly and responds to inputs normally makes me think it is not the bluetooth connection itself that is the issue. Has anyone else started experiencing something similar recently?
