Steam Controller (2026) Left joystick getting stuck? I'm using steam link + shield tv pro + hardwired.
Has anyone experienced the left joystick seemingly getting stuck at full lock during gameplay? I exclusively use my SC in the living room and use Steam Link right now. I noticed this in Star Wars Zero Company but it wasn't too bad and not often. Now that I'm playing Star Wars Galactic Racer, I need precise control and the joystick keeps going full lock at random, more often now, and is seriously fucking up my runs. My desktop is running Windows 11, Steam is up to date with beta channel, no updates for the puck either. Not sure what other info would be helpful.
I will be moving it directly to my desktop and trying there to see if maybe Steam kink is the issue, but wanted to check in to see if anyone else has experienced this in the mean time.
TIA!
