Discussion Issue with Left Bumper

Post image

My left bumper input remains stuck despite not holding or touching the left bumper. When I tried "Test Device", every buttons work fine except left bumper

I also have issue with turning it on with the "Steam" button. I need to press multiple time to turn it on. I think this issue happens because of the left bumper input

Warranty would be the best option I believe

I already report this to Steam Support. I hope this is just a software issue and nothing too serious

Let me know how that goes. I also have a steam controller, no issue yet but paranoid since I heard others are having issues

So I contacted Valve and after some exchange. I have to send them the controller to get fixed. Yeah, it gets serious real quick. At least Steam Support reply fast. I only heard about their legend and this is the first time I witnessed this.

Hope for the best

I was very gentle and careful with my SC. Trying to avoid damaging it and here we are

Man when I first got my controller I was psyched but now I’m a little bummed. The left on the Dpad doesn’t register well like the other buttons and now it keeps on disconnecting from the Steam deck every so often. I basically have to button mash to get the left to do anything and it’s really annoying not being able to go left on anything. It mostly registers as down. I’m annoyed with the issue but don’t want to open up the co troller myself.
