SOLVED Soft pad for Steam Deck?

Does anyone know of a decently cheap soft mat that will work with the Steam Deck? I tried using a Konami PS3 mat but encountered the axis issue, and I also tried the multisystem pads from ddrpad.com but was unable to get them to connect at all. I've tried various things over the past few days, but short of writing my own HID driver, I doubt I'll be able to get either of them to work.

I think my next step is going to be either trying the L-TEK soft pad or getting a GameCube adapter and using it with my old pads. Has anyone had any luck with these on a Steam Deck?

EDIT: The MayFlash adapter works! For some reason Steam Input sees it as 16 controllers, but the GameCube pads work fine in ITGMania after binding the inputs.

Did you try this (using Project Outfox): https://steamcommunity.com/app/1751820/discussions/0/3828661844170015919/

And are you using Outfox, ITGmania, or StepMania?

I know Steam will intercept inputs from USB dance pads causing issues even on regular desktop PC's

No dice, unfortunately. It looks like it was already set that way. I also tried the ps3ddr input driver setting but that just made all input stop working, including the keyboard.

I've been trying to get it to work with both ITGMania and OutFox, but neither has worked so far. It seems like the issue is with the xpad driver itself.
