Steam Controller (2026) Discovered software defect in steam controller with latest update.

Very gently touching the very tip of any corner of a touchpad disables the other touchpad. its almost as if its triggering the accidental touch lockout feature of the thumbstick but for the opposet pad. Can anyone confirm this bug? I don't believes its my hardware since both trigger for the other pad, 2 faulty components malfunctioning in the same way is rare. unless of course the fault lies with the board. I've already sent this video to steam to look into.

Weird bug

Not sure if it's the same update, but I just had an update pop up right now and I don't seem to have this issue.

its hard to get to trigger, as its the very tip of a touchpad corner. I found it while resting one thumb accidently against it. try again and let me know. either way things for the input. I've got steam looking into it. it might be a software issue on my end as i changed setting to better navigate the pc when not in a game, but i've combed through the settings and cannot find the issue.

En steam deck pasa lo mismo, no puedes usar el raton en los dos trackpads a la vez. O el uno o el otro en cada momento

Disculpa si mi respuesta suena rara, estoy usando un traductor. Puedo usar ambos al mismo tiempo sin ningún problema si toco el centro de cada trackpad. Esto solo ocurre cuando toco justo la punta de una esquina.
