Severe input issues on steam deck


Pet Rock

1. You can't use mouse or keyboard playing don't starve together on the steam deck unless you force compatibility with steam Linux runtime.

2. After forcing compatibility with steam Linux runtime:

   a. The input defaults to the controller on joining/leaving a world and entering/leaving the caves

   b. Using controller, the start, apply, and reset keybinds button aren't binded. I can't reset them to fix this, as the reset keybind is unbinded.

This twisted combination stops me from being able to start a new world, since the input defaults to controller and the start button which I need to confirm my character isn't binded.

Both issues make the game annoying at times and unplayable at others.

Changing the steam input to a keyboard and mouse one stops the game from defaulting to controller, but proper support without tinkering for keyboard and mouse on the steam deck would be great.


Steps to Reproduce

1. Play on steam deck

2. Try to use mouse and keyboard (they dont do anything and you can't change the input)

3. Look online and find advice to force steam Linux runtime

4. Rage as the input defaults to controller and buttons are unbinded
