The Playstation 5 controller is not functioning properly in Mortal Kombat 1 if Steam Input is Enabled(default)

The issue is when the Steam Input is enabled, and some functions ingame asks you to press on the left side of the touchpad, for example for accessing the player card customization menu, or to reset the practice session.

I also tried with some custom community layouts, but the left side of the touchpad is simply mistakenly assigned to the “share” key on the left side, which is incorrect for this particular title.

DS4 controller doesn’t have the issue, so it’s just with the DS5.

Disabling Steam Input solves the issue, but if the controller is disconnected during a session for whatever reason(extended afk, battery discharge, etc) then when you re-connect it back it’s no longer able to control anything unless you reboot the game.

Testing the controller with the dedicated Steam buttons test section does not seem to have any issues, all buttons are working, including the individual touches on the entire touchpad also.

The issue is related to Steam Input, as disabling it solves the issues immediately, but as described, it introduces another.
