Hello @tails101, issues with SDL should be reported to the SDL project.

My previous comment stands. if there's an issue with SDL underneath Steam Input, that needs to be evaluated and resolved upstream first. I see you opened https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/15100 as well. That's where the discussion of this issue should be held. If an SDL dev provides a decent hint that there's an additional issue with Steam after that's been assessed, then give me a ping and we can continue pondering this.
