I’m having a frustrating issue with my Steam Deck where it doesn’t recognize my controller when it wakes up from sleep mode. I turned off the Steam startup movies since I read that helps some people, and I’ve also tinkered with the controller settings, but nothing seems to work. This problem started happening after the latest update. When I wake the device, it seems stuck in keyboard mode and displays keyboard prompts as if I were using one. I play FF7 Rebirth with the default settings, but I’m considering switching from windowed to borderless fullscreen. I even tried plugging in a controller, but that didn’t fix the issue either. Anyone know a reliable workaround for this? Restarting the entire game every time is really inconvenient!

This can be annoying! It happens sometimes when the Steam Deck wakes up. I always make sure to save my game before putting it to sleep. You could also try using the built-in controls to get to a safe point before doing anything else.
Are you talking about touch controls? I tried using the touchscreen, but it seems like it just defaults to keyboard mode instead.
