Some external controllers can't open up the quick access menu (shortcut broken or changed)

@kisak-valve Thank you for transferring this to the proper issue tracker and adding the proper tags, so sorry I didn't do all that right the first time!
Additionally I took a screenshot of the "cheat sheet" that pops up when holding the Dualsense home button, showing some strange shortcuts. Further testing some of these listed shortcuts also revealed:
- The shortcut for turning off the controller (Home + Triangle) does not work.
- The shortcut for bringing up the keyboard is different than the stock shortcut (should be Home + Square I think) and also this one doesn't work anyway.
- Doing the "Quit Big Picture" shortcut causes strange behavior that necessitated a reboot to properly re-initiate Game Mode on the Steam Deck.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The shortcut to open the quick access menu no longer works on a variety of external controllers I use. It SHOULD be "Home button + A button" (or X button in the case of the Dualsense, etc. The bottom face button in any case). This does not work with the Dualsense, Steam Controller, or Dualshock 4 in my testing. Strangely, it DOES work on my 8bitdo Pro 2 controller (using x-input mode). It does work with Steam Deck's built in controls too of course.
If I hold the home buttons and wait for the cheat sheet of shortcuts to open up, that particular shortcut looks broken. I can't remember exactly what it says (I'll double check and edit later), but it says something like "D key, Windows Desktop"
Additionally, I can't find any way to reset these bindings for particular controllers. Is there a way to reset it to workaround this issue?
